IC50: 3.01 μM (GSK-3)[3]
GSK3-IN-3 targets glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) with an IC50 of 3.01 μM. Unlike conventional ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors, GSK3-IN-3 is non-ATP and non-substrate competitive, suggesting a distinct binding mechanism. Beyond GSK-3 inhibition, the compound also functions as a mitophagy inducer that promotes parkin-dependent mitochondrial autophagy. This dual activity makes it useful for studying the intersection of kinase signaling and mitochondrial quality control pathways. |

| ln Vitro |
In U2OS-iMLS cells expressing Parkin, GSK3-IN-3 (VP07) (25 μM; 24 hours) causes mitophagy, albeit in a limited way [1]. U2OS-iMLS-Parkin cells undergo mitochondrial fission and morphological alterations due to GSK3-IN-3 (1.56-25 μM; 24 hours) [1]. In an in vitro cell model of Parkinson's disease using SH-SY5Y cells, GSK3-IN-3 (VP0.7) (5 μM, 10 μM;) demonstrated neuroprotective benefits against 6-OHDA [2].
In vitro, GSK3-IN-3 (VP07) induces mitophagy in Parkin-expressing U2OS-iMLS cells at 25 μM for 24 hours, though with limited potency. At concentrations of 1.56-25 μM for 24 hours, it causes mitochondrial fission and morphological changes in U2OS-iMLS-Parkin cells. The compound exhibits GSK-3 inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 3.01 μM. It also shows neuroprotective effects against 6-OHDA-induced toxicity. These in vitro activities support its use in studies of mitochondrial dysfunction and neurodegeneration. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo data for GSK3-IN-3 is limited in publicly available sources. As a mitophagy inducer and GSK-3 inhibitor, the compound is expected to have potential applications in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, where mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role. The compound's neuroprotective effects against 6-OHDA in vitro suggest potential in vivo efficacy in models of dopaminergic neuron degeneration. However, specific in vivo pharmacokinetic and efficacy studies have not been widely reported in the literature.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro GSK-3 inhibition assay for GSK3-IN-3 typically uses recombinant GSK-3 enzyme and a peptide substrate in the presence of varying compound concentrations. Kinase activity is measured using radioactive or luminescent detection methods, and IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. The non-ATP competitive nature of the compound can be confirmed by performing the assay at different ATP concentrations. Mitophagy induction is assessed in Parkin-expressing U2OS cells using fluorescence microscopy to monitor mitochondrial localization and autophagosome formation.

Immunofluorescence[1]
Cell Types: Parkin-expressing U2OS-iMLS cells Tested Concentrations: 1.56 μM, 3.12 μM, 6.25 μM, 12.5 μM, and 25 μM; Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Induced a mitochondrial morphology change from a filament-shaped network to a more round-shaped network. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Types: SH-SY5Y cells Tested Concentrations: 0.5 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM Incubation Duration: 16 hrs (hours); with 35 μM 6-OHDA Experimental Results: Inhibited cell growth with an IC50 value of 2.57 μM. Cellular assays for GSK3-IN-3 are conducted in U2OS-iMLS-Parkin cells, which stably express Parkin. Cells are treated with GSK3-IN-3 at concentrations ranging from 1.56 to 25 μM for 24 hours. Mitophagy is assessed by monitoring mitochondrial fragmentation and morphological changes using confocal microscopy. Parkin-dependent mitophagy is confirmed by analyzing the co-localization of mitochondria with autophagosomal markers. Neuroprotective effects are evaluated in 6-OHDA-treated neuronal cell models. |
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies for GSK3-IN-3 would typically involve animal models of Parkinson's disease or other neurodegenerative conditions. The compound could be administered via intraperitoneal or oral routes, with dosing regimens determined by pharmacokinetic studies. Efficacy would be assessed by measuring behavioral outcomes, dopaminergic neuron survival, and biochemical markers of mitochondrial function and autophagy. However, specific published in vivo protocols for GSK3-IN-3 are not available in the current literature.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for GSK3-IN-3 is not extensively reported in publicly available sources. The compound has a molecular weight of 429.55 g/mol and is expected to have moderate lipophilicity based on its chemical structure. As a research compound with both GSK-3 inhibitory and mitophagy-inducing activities, its pharmacokinetic properties would need to be characterized for specific in vivo applications. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and tissue distribution are not available in the current literature.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data for GSK3-IN-3 is limited in publicly available sources. As with all research compounds, GSK3-IN-3 is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. The compound's neuroprotective effects against 6-OHDA suggest a favorable safety profile in neuronal cells, but comprehensive toxicology studies have not been reported. Standard in vitro cytotoxicity assays and in vivo tolerability studies would be required for a complete toxicity assessment.
