Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
GSK-3β [1]
(Cell-free assay)
60 nM
In vitro

Tideglusib irreversibly inhibits GSK-3, reduces tau phosphorylation, and prevents apoptotic death in human neuroblastoma cells and murineprimary neurons. [1]

This compound (2.5 μM) inhibits glutamate-induced glial activation as evidenced by decreased TNF-α and COX-2 expression in rat primary astrocyte or microglial cultures. It (2.5 μM) also exerts a potent neuroprotective effect on cortical neurons from glutamate-induced excitotoxicity as evidenced by significant reduction in the number of Annexin-V-positive cells in rat primary astrocyte or microglial cultures. [2]

Kinase Assay
Binding Experiments with Radiolabeled Tideglusib
[35S]Tideglusib (207 Bq/nmol) at 55 μM is incubated with 5 μM GSK-3β for 1 h at 25 °C in 315 μL of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, containing 150 mM NaCl and 0.1 mM EGTA. The incubation is extended for another 30 min after having added 35 μL of the same buffer with or without 100 mM DTE. Finally, a third 40-μL aliquot of each original sample is mixed with 10 μL of denaturing electrophoresis sample buffer without reducing agents, and 35 μL of this mixture is loaded onto a 10% polyacrylamide gel and subjected to SDS-PAGE, followed by fluorography of the dried gel.
In vivo

Tideglusib (50 mg/kg) injected into the adult male Wistar rats hippocampus dramatically reduces kainic acid-induced inflammation and has a neuroprotective effect in the damaged areas of the hippocampus. [2]

This compound (200 mg/kg, oral) results in lower levels of tau phosphorylation, decreased amyloid deposition and plaque-associated astrocytic proliferation, protection of neurons in the entorhinal cortex and CA1 hippocampal subfield against cell death, and prevention of memory deficits in APP/tau double transgenic mice. [3]

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
I want to deliver it via i.p. injection, can you suggest one?

Answer:
This compound can be dissolved in 4% DMSO+corn oil at 2.5 mg/ml clearly. This is the highest concentration, since its solubility in DMSO is pretty low.
