Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Indirubin-3’-oxime is a potent inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β; IC50 = 22 nM).1 As GSK3β phosphorylates tau protein, indirubin-3’-oxime prevents tau phosphorylation both in vitro and in vivo at Alzheimer’s disease-relevant sites.

Product Data
Biological target:
Indirubin-3'-monoxime is a potent GSK-3β inhibitor, and 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.
In vitro activity:
The antibacterial activity results demonstrated that the synthesized indirubin-3'-monoximes 5a-5z and 5aa-5ad displayed good potency against S. aureus ATCC25923 (MIC = 0.4-25.6 μg mL-1). Reference: RSC Adv. 2022 Sep 2;12(38):25068-25080. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36199871/
In vivo activity:
Xenograft-positive zebrafish embryos were divided randomly and treated with (a) DMSO (control group), (b) BTZ (10 nM), (c) I3MO (5 μM), and (d) I3MO/BTZ combination (10 nM and 5 μM, respectively). The tumor load was examined by quantification of Calcein-AM (green) positive areas in zebrafish, and compared in different groups after 24 h treatment. As Figure 3c–e showed, either monotherapy or combination therapy of I3MO eliminates the engraftment of MM cells in zebrafish embryos (P<0.05, t test).
