Product Description
GSK-3α/β-IN-1 is a GSK-3α/β inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.265 μM for GSK-3α and 0.255 μM for GSK-3β. GSK-3α/β-IN-1 also inhibits PKA, with an IC50 value of 0.188 μM. GSK-3α/β-IN-1 effectively inhibits the cell viability of three glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines (IC50: 3-6 μM, 72 hours) and is non-toxic to human astrocytes, exhibiting good metabolic stability. In a fully blood-brain barrier (BBB) GBM model, GSK-3α/β-IN-1 demonstrates potential central nervous system activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
GSK-3α/β-IN-1 (compound 1) exhibits kinase selectivity for GSK-3α/β and PKA, but poor selectivity for other homologous kinases (CDK2, CDK5, CDK9, ERK1, ERK2, PKBα, PKBβ, PKCα, and PKCγ) [1]. GSK-3α/β-IN-1 (0.3-300 μM, 24-72 h) showed potent cytotoxicity against three glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines (U87-MG, T98G, and U251-MG) in a dose- and time-dependent manner [1]. GSK-3α/β-IN-1 (3.3-6.2 μM, 72 h) significantly reduced the proportion of G1 phase cells and increased the proportion of S phase cells in the three cell lines (U87-MG, U251-MG, and T98G) [1]. GSK-3α/β-IN-1 (6.2 μM, 72 hours) was non-toxic to blood-brain barrier cells and the blood-brain barrier remained intact in the GBM blood-brain barrier model [1]. The half-life of GSK-3α/β-IN-1 (t1/2 of 101 min) was more than 4 times that of verapamil, and its intrinsic clearance (CLint of 5.6 mL/min/mg protein) was lower than that of verapamil [1].

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
