Product Description
GSK3β inhibitor II is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of GSK3β. GSK3β inhibitor II may be utilized in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research.
GSK3β Inhibitor II is a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β). With the molecular formula C14H10IN3OS and a molecular weight of 395.22, this compound functions as a research tool for studying GSK3β-mediated signaling pathways. GSK3β is a serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a critical role in multiple cellular processes including glycogen metabolism, cell division, gene expression, neuronal development, and synaptic plasticity. The compound forms a hydrogen bond with Val135 in the GSK3β active site, contributing to its inhibitory activity. GSK3β Inhibitor II has potential therapeutic applications in treating neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and diabetes. The compound is being investigated for research on Alzheimer's disease, as GSK3β is implicated in tau phosphorylation and amyloid-beta pathology. It is exclusively intended for research applications and is not approved for therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GSK3β Inhibitor II specifically targets glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β), a multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinase. GSK3β is a key regulator of numerous cellular processes including glycogen metabolism, Wnt signaling, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and neuronal development. The kinase is constitutively active in resting cells and is inactivated by phosphorylation at Ser9 in response to various stimuli. GSK3β is implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (where it phosphorylates tau protein), cancer (where it regulates cell proliferation and survival), and diabetes (where it regulates glycogen synthesis and insulin signaling). The compound inhibits GSK3β with an IC50 of 390 nM, and it forms a hydrogen bond with Val135 in the kinase active site.
ln Vitro
GSK3β inhibitor II reacts ionic to Lys85, hydrogen bonds to Lys85 and Val135 residues, and correspondingly to Ile62, Phe67, Val70, Ala83, and Leu188 residues [1]. Val135 and GSK3β inhibitor II establish a hydrogen bond[1].
In vitro, GSK3β Inhibitor II exhibits potent and selective inhibition of GSK3β with an IC50 of 390 nM. The compound binds to the ATP-binding pocket of GSK3β, forming a hydrogen bond with Val135. By inhibiting GSK3β, the compound blocks the phosphorylation of GSK3β substrates, including glycogen synthase, β-catenin, and tau protein. The compound's selectivity for GSK3β over other kinases contributes to its utility as a research tool for studying GSK3β-mediated signaling pathways. GSK3β Inhibitor II has been studied in various in vitro models of Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and diabetes. Specific IC50 values and detailed in vitro activity data are available from the primary literature.
ln Vivo
In vivo, GSK3β Inhibitor II has been investigated in preclinical models of Alzheimer's disease and other conditions where GSK3β is implicated. By inhibiting GSK3β, the compound is expected to reduce tau phosphorylation and modulate amyloid-beta pathology in Alzheimer's disease models. In cancer models, GSK3β inhibition may affect tumor cell proliferation, survival, and drug resistance. In diabetes models, GSK3β inhibition may enhance glycogen synthesis and insulin sensitivity. Specific in vivo efficacy data is available from the primary literature describing the compound.
Enzyme Assay
The inhibitory activity of GSK3β Inhibitor II is assessed using standard kinase activity assays. Recombinant human GSK3β enzyme is incubated with a peptide substrate (such as a phosphorylated glycogen synthase peptide) and ATP (typically ³³P-ATP) in the presence of varying concentrations of the test compound. The phosphorylation of the substrate is quantified by measuring the incorporation of radiolabeled phosphate or using fluorescence-based detection methods. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves by plotting percent inhibition versus compound concentration. Selectivity against other kinases is assessed using similar assays with a panel of recombinant kinases.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for GSK3β Inhibitor II are performed using cell lines relevant to the disease being studied. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound for specified time periods. GSK3β activity is assessed by measuring the phosphorylation levels of known GSK3β substrates, such as glycogen synthase (Ser641), β-catenin (Ser33/37/Thr41), or tau protein (Ser396/404), using Western blotting with phospho-specific antibodies. Cell viability and proliferation are assessed using MTT, CCK-8, or CellTiter-Glo assays. In Alzheimer's disease models, tau phosphorylation and amyloid-beta levels are measured.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies of GSK3β Inhibitor II are conducted in animal models of Alzheimer's disease, cancer, diabetes, or other relevant conditions. The compound is typically administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection or oral gavage, with formulation in suitable vehicles such as DMSO, PEG-based solutions, or saline suspensions. In Alzheimer's disease models (e.g., transgenic mice expressing mutant APP or tau), endpoints include assessment of tau phosphorylation, amyloid-beta pathology, neuroinflammation, and cognitive function using behavioral tests. In cancer models, tumor growth inhibition is monitored. In diabetes models, blood glucose levels and glucose tolerance are assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of GSK3β Inhibitor II (molecular weight 395.22, molecular formula C14H10IN3OS) have been characterized. The compound is formulated in suitable vehicles for in vivo administration. Storage recommendations include powder storage under appropriate conditions. Comprehensive PK parameters including oral bioavailability, half-life, and maximum concentration are available from the primary literature. The compound's molecular properties, including its iodine-containing structure, may influence its pharmacokinetic and distribution characteristics.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
GSK3β Inhibitor II is intended for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic applications. Comprehensive toxicological evaluations, including acute and repeat-dose toxicity studies in animal models, have been conducted as part of preclinical development. GSK3β is a multifunctional kinase involved in numerous cellular processes, and its inhibition may have diverse biological effects that would be carefully evaluated in toxicology studies. Standard safety pharmacology assessments would include evaluation of effects on the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, and glucose metabolism.
