4-CPPU (CPPU) is a highly active plant growth regulator of the cytokine class that increases chlorophyll biosynthesis, cell division and cell expansion. It can increase fruit set and fruit enlargement and promote somatic embryogenesis. It works synergistically with the plant's endogenous auxin levels to increase plant growth. In mammalian systems, it has anti-mitotic and anti-migratory properties and could be a promising septin-based anti-tumor agent. It can also be used to study septin biology. 4-CPPU is a cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKO) inhibitor.
4-CPPU is soluble in ethanol and methanol.
