Product Description

Indirubin-3'-monoxime is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of GSK-3β (glycogen synthase kinase 3β) which also weakly inhibits 5-Lipoxygenase with IC50s of 22 nM and 7.8-10 µM, respectively; Indirubin-3'-monoxime also shows inhibitory activities against CDK5/p25 and CDK1/cyclin B, with IC50s of 100 and 180 nM. As GSK3β phosphorylates tau protein, indirubin-3’-oxime prevents tau phosphorylation both in vitro and in vivo at Alzheimer’s disease-relevant sites. It also inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) at higher concentrations, including Cdk1/cyclin B (IC50 = 180 nM), Cdk2/cyclin A (IC50 ~500 nM), Cdk2/cyclin E (IC50 = 250nM), Cdk4/cyclin D1 (IC50 = 3.3 µM) and Cdk5/p35 (IC50 = 100 nM). Indirubin-3’-oxime reversibly inhibits the proliferation of many cells types, arresting cycling in the G2/M phase.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GSK-3β (IC50 = 22 nM); CDK5/p25 (IC50 = 100 nM); CDK1/cyclin B (IC50 = 180 nM); 5-LOX (IC50 = 7.8-10 μM)
ln Vitro
Indirubin-3'-monoxime has a Ki of 0.85 μM and a Km of 110 μM. It inhibits GSK-3β by complementation with ATP. Even with an IC50 value of about 100 nM, indirubin-3'-monoxime still prevents tau phosphorylation by GSK-3{. At the AT100 epitope, phosphorylation is totally inhibited by indiviubunin-3'-monoxime [1]. An IC50 of approximately 2 μM is observed for indinabinin-3'-monoxime's inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. VSMC migration induced by PDGF was inhibited by indorubin-3'-monoxime]. Both the generation of LT in monocytes that promotes migration and the migration response in VSMC are disrupted by indorubin-3'-monoxime. Furthermore, with comparable efficacy (IC50 values of 5.0±1.1 and 3.7±1.2μM, respectively), indirubin-3'-monoxime impedes the production of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) products in monocytes and neutrophils. With an IC50 of 7.8-10 μM in cell-free experiments, indorubin-3'-monoxime is a 5-LO reagent [3].
ln Vivo
In breast milk fed on a high-fat diet, indirubin-3'-monoxime (0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 mg/kg, ip) preventatively cures cognitive impairment and counteracts heightened oxidative midday indicators. In addition, dose-dependent reductions in insulin, TG, TC, and plasma glucose were observed when lactations given a high-fat diet (HFD) had better β-cell function. In addition, HOMA-IR levels were considerably lower in the Indirubin-3'-monoxime group as compared to the HFD group. The elevated EL in the HFD group was considerably reduced by -3'-Monoxime (0.4 mg/kg) [2].
Enzyme Assay
GSK-3β is expressed in and purified from insect Sf9 cells. It is measured with a final volume of 30 μL of 15 μM[γ-32P]ATP (3000 Ci/mmol; 1 mCi/L) after a 1/100 dilution in 1 mg/mL BSA, 10 mM DTT, and 5 μL of 40 μM GS-1 peptide as a substrate. Following a 30-minute incubation at 30°C, 25-μL aliquots of the supernatant are spotted onto pieces of Whatman P81 phosphocellulose paper that are 2.5 x 3 cm. Twenty seconds later, the filters are washed five times (for at least five minutes each time) in a solution of 10 mL of phosphoric acid/liter of water. A 1 mL sample of ACS scintillation fluid is used to count the wet filters[1].
Cell Assay
Cytotoxicity of Indirubin-3'-monoxime in monocytes is analysed by MTT assay in a 96-well format using a multi-well scanning spectrophotometer. Following a 30-minute incubation with Indirubin-3'-monoxime, neutrophils (5 106 cells/mL) or monocytes (2 106 cells/mL) are tested for cell viability using the MTT assay. There is no detectable acute cytotoxicity when compared to vehicle (0.3% DMSO) in neutrophils (103.94.4%; 129.45.4%; n=3, each)[3].
Animal Protocol
Male mice (5–6 weeks old) are divided into five groups (n=10) at random. Groups 1 and 2 receive a normal pellet diet (NPD); Groups 3 through 5 receive a HFD; and Groups 6 through 9 receive an Indirubin-3'-monoxime treatment (0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 mg/kg i.p., respectively) once daily for one week after receiving the HFD for 8 weeks. In (2.5% v/v) DMSO in saline, indorubin-3'-monoxime is dissolved. Equal volumes of vehicle (2.5% v/v DMSO in saline) are administered to the mice in the NPD and HFD groups. Indirubin-3'-monoxime dosages are decided upon. Mice are kept for eight weeks in standard husbandry conditions (22°C and 60% humidity) with free access to food and water on a 12/12-hour light/dark cycle. Throughout the course of the experiment, weekly weight checks are made[2].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
