Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for inducing cell reprogramming. The indazole derivative compound contained in the composition of the present invention shows an improved biological profile and at the same time can perform efficient cell reprogramming. In addition, unlike conventional compounds (e.g. riversine or BIO) for inducing low-molecular cell reprogramming, the indazole derivative compound of the present invention does not show cytotoxicity and thus is expected to have high growth in the market of cell therapy products when clinically applied. Conventional indazole derivative compounds have never known as a use for cell reprogramming. Compared with conventional indazole derivative compounds, the compound of the present invention has a great cell reprogramming ability while having no or little cytotoxicity.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition and a method for preventing or treating a cardiovascular disease are provided. The pharmaceutical composition includes a BIO compound ((2?Z,3?E)-6-bromoindirubin-3?-oxime) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient. The pharmaceutical composition can specifically act on different types of cells constituting heart tissues, that is, can induce the growth of cardiomyocytes, and can also inhibit proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts and strongly suppress inflammatory mediators in macrophages, thereby significantly recovering the tissues and functions of the heart after the onset of myocardial infarction. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition can be effectively used to treat various cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for screening a diabetes treating agent comprising the following steps: (a) preparing cells inside a culture medium; (b) treating the culture medium with a test substance; (c) treating the result of step (b) with a glucose derivative which is not metabolized; and (d) measuring the glucose derivative which has flowed into the cells, wherein the test substance is determined to be a diabetes treating agent if the test substance accelerates uptake of the glucose derivative in the cells. Therefore, the described pharmaceutical composition, including a triazin-based compound as an active ingredient, can be useful for application in preventing or treating diabetes.
