Description:

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

TDZD-8 is a serine/threonine glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK-3beta) inhibitor. GSK-3beta is abundant in the central nervous system, particularly in the hippocampus, and plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases, including neurodegeneration. TDZD-8 protects the brain against I/R injury by inhibiting GSK-3beta activity. TDZD-8 decreased proliferation and induced apoptosis of GL261 glioblastoma cells in vitro, delayed tumor growth in vivo, and augmented animal survival. These effects were associated with an early activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway and increased expression of EGR-1 and p21 genes.

Biological target:
TDZD-8 is an inhibitor of GSK-3β with an IC50 of 2 μM.
In vitro activity:
The antiproliferative effect of TDZD-8 on GL261 glioblastoma cells was tested analyzing BrdU incorporation. Exponentially growing GL261 cells were exposed to 20 µM TDZD-8 for 24 and 48 h, and their proliferation was monitored. A significant decrease in proliferation was observed in cells treated for both 24 and 48 h with 20 µM TDZD-8 compared with untreated control cells (Fig. 3A). Additionally, cell viability, measured by the MTT assay, was significantly diminished in TDZD-8-treated cells (Fig. 3B), compared to controls. Thus, TDZD-8 has an antiproliferative effect on GL261 glioblastoma cells. This anti-proliferative effect of TDZD-8 was also observed in other two human glioblastoma cell lines, A172 (Fig. 3C, D) and U373 (Fig. 3E, F). Reference: PLoS One. 2010 Nov 8;5(11):e13879. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2975629/
In vivo activity:
Whether TDZD-8 can lead to improved sensorimotor function was investigated using a hypoxic-ischemic (HI) model in neonatal mice. Seven days after HI, the neurobehavioral function of mice was assessed using the cliff avoidance test. The vehicle control group (7 days: 6.14±1.63 seconds) displayed a significantly longer latency to complete the test in comparison with the sham group (7 days: 2.03±0.15 seconds). TDZD-8 pretreatment (7 days: 3.02±0.45 seconds) significantly reduced the latency to complete the test in comparison with the vehicle group (Figure 3A, *P<.05). These results indicated that TDZD-8 improves the locomotion and reduces maladaptive behavior response of the mice following HI.
