    Abstract:
    Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a cytokine which plays a central role in megakaryopoiesis and platelet production by binding to its cell surface receptor, termed c-Mpl. In the present study, two benzodiazepinones that compete with the binding of TPO to the extracellular region of c-Mpl were identified, and one of them stimulated the proliferation of a human TPO-dependent megakaryocytic cell line, UT-7/TPO. It stimulated the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 in UT-7/TPO cells. These results suggest that a non-peptide compound can mimic the effect of TPO via c-Mpl.
