Description:

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

Tideglusib, also known as NP031112, is a GSK-3 inhibitor, which is currently under clinical trial for Alzheimer's disease. Tideglusib protects neural stem cells against NMDA receptor overactivation. Tideglusib reduces progression of brain atrophy in progressive supranuclear palsy in a randomized trial. Tideglusib prevents inflammation and neurodegeneration under excitotoxic conditions: potential therapeutic role in brain disorders.

Biological target:
Irreversible GSK-3 inhibitor with IC50s of 5 nM and 60 nM for GSK-3βWT and GSK-3βC199A, respectively.
In vitro activity:
A luciferase reporter containing βRARE sequence was constructed. This reporter was 9-cis-RA inducible in the presence of RXRα, which could be inhibited by overexpression of GSK-3β (Fig.5A). When Ser78 was mutated into Ala78 (RXRα/S78A), GSK-3β-mediated βRARE inhibition could be reactivated by 9-cis-RA (Fig.5A. 9-cis-RA could also restore βRARE activity via GSK-3β inhibition by tideglusib (Fig.5B). Such phenomenon was reproducible in SMMC7721 and Bel-7402 (Fig. S3B and S3C). An investigation was conducted whether GSK-3β could modulate the heterodimeric capacity of RXRα. As expected, 9-cis-RA could induce RXRα interaction with RARα. When overexpression of GSK-3β, 9-cis-RA-induced RXRα:RARα complex was dismantled (Fig.5C and D). Conversely, the complex could be reassembled when GSK-3β was knocked down by specific siRNA (Fig.5D) or inactivated by tideglusib (Fig. 5E, Fig. S3D and S3E).

In vivo activity:
Consecutive intravaginal exposure of rabbits to tideglusib for 10 days did not result in significant microscopic abnormalities of vagina tissues. The light microscopy examination revealed intact vaginal epithelium, lack of leukocyte influx and slight vascular congestion in the representative vaginal sections of rabbits receiving gel alone (Fig. 1A) or gel with tideglusib (Fig. 1B). However, ulceration of the epithelial cell layers, vascular congestion, submucosal edema and increased leukocyte infiltration (Fig. 1C) were prominent in N-9 group (a positive control). Accordingly, the total pathological score of tideglusib group (3.4 ± 2.07) was lower than N-9 (7.8 ± 3.82) (p <.05) but not significantly different from negative control (1.4 ± 0.82), as shown in Table 1.
