Product Data
Biological target:
GSK 3 Inhibitor IX (6-Bromoindirubin-3'-oxime; BIO) is a potent, selective, reversible and ATP-competitive inhibitor of GSK-3α/β and CDK1-cyclinB complex with IC50s of 5 nM/320 nM/80 nM for (GSK-3α/β)/CDK1/CDK5.
In vitro activity:
To determine whether a molecule that can maintain stem cell properties can also participate in controlling the proliferative capability of the highly differentiated cardiomyocytes, this study examines the effect of BIO (6-bromoindirubin-3'-oxime) in postmitotic cardiac cells. Here, this study shows that BIO promotes proliferation in mammalian cardiomyocytes. Reference: Chem Biol. 2006 Sep;13(9):957-63. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16984885/
In vivo activity:
Anti-cancer activity of 6BIO (6-Bromoindirubin-3'-oxime) in vivo was studied with an A2058 human melanoma xenograft mouse model. 6BIO at the dose of 100 mg/kg was found safe to the mice (Fig. 5A). Then this study used a dose of 50 mg/kg for 6BIO therapy study in NSG mouse xenograft model by oral administration once daily for 2 weeks. As shown in Figure 5B, the tumor growth was significantly suppressed. Reference: Cancer Res. 2011 Jun 1;71(11):3972-9. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21610112/
