Description of Tideglusib

Tideglusib is a potent, selective, and irreversible non-ATP competitive glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitor. The IC50 values for GSK-3βWT and GSK-3βC199A are 5nM and 60nM, respectively [1]. GSK-3 is a serine/threonine kinase that is associated with glucose regulation, apoptosis, protein synthesis, cell signaling, cell transport, gene transcription, and cell proliferation [2]. Tideglusib can inhibit inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases and can be used to treat Alzheimer's disease [3-4].

In vitro, Tideglusib (2.5μM; 24h) completely eliminated the expression of TNF-α and COX-2 in glutamate-induced astrocyte and microglial cell cultures, and significantly reduced the number of laminin-V positive cells, exerting anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects on cortical neurons [5]. Different concentrations of Tideglusib (5-120μM; 48h) dose-dependently reduced the cell viability of human neuroblastoma (IMR32) cells [6].

In vivo, Tideglusib (2ng/2.5μl PBS; stereotactic injection) treatment significantly improved brain injury in kainic acid (KA) induced focal excitotoxicity model rats and reduced TNF-α positive staining in astrocytes and microglia [5]. Tideglusib (200mg/kg/day; 3 months) oral treatment reduced tau protein phosphorylation levels in APP/tau double transgenic mice, decreased amyloid protein deposition and plaque-related astrocyte proliferation, and protected the entorhinal cortex and prevented hippocampal CA1 zone neuron death [7].

Protocol of Tideglusib

Kinase experiment [1]:

Preparation Method

Kinase assay was carried out at 25°C in a final volume of 10μl in 384-well low volume round bottom black plates with 50mm Hepes, pH 7.5, 10mm MgCl2, 1mm EGTA, and 0.01% Brij-35 as assay buffer. Enzyme concentration ranged from 2 to 5nm. ATP and peptide concentrations were 12.5 and 2μm, respectively. The assays were run for 1h in the presence or absence of compounds in a final DMSO concentration of 1%, and samples were processed. When double titrations of ATP and Tideglusib were performed, varying both ATP and Tideglusib concentrations while keeping the concentration of peptide substrate fixed. Data analysis was performed by fitting the experimental data to the appropriate equations for competitive, uncompetitive, and non-competitive inhibition.

Reaction Conditions

0.1nM-1μM; 1h

Applications

The IC50 value of Tideglusib in inhibiting GSK-3β is 5nm in the pre-incubation condition and 105nm in the non-pre-incubation condition.
Cell experiment [2]:

Cell lines

Rat primary astrocytes, microglia, and neurons

Preparation Method

Tideglusib (2.5μm) was added to the culture medium of astrocytes and microglia 1 h before exposure to glutamate (500μm), cells were incubated for 24 h before tissue culture medium was collected, and the cells were evaluated for tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and cyclooxygenase type 2 (COX-2) expression.

Reaction Conditions

2.5μM; 24h

Applications

Tideglusib completely abolished the expression of TNF-α and COX-2 in the astrocyte and microglial cell cultures induced by glutamate.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Wistar rats (focal excitotoxic model)

Preparation Method

Each group of rats (n ≥ 5) was anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of ketamine (60mg/kg) and Domtor (5μg/kg), and then placed in a stereotactic apparatus. kainic acid (KA) (1μg dissolved in 2.5μL PBS) or in combination with Tideglusib (2ng dissolved in 2.5μL PBS) was injected separately into the hippocampus. The control animals were injected with solvent. Each injection was administered using a micro-pump and lasted for more than 2.5 minutes. Afterward, these rats were housed individually for recovery care. Behavioral analysis was conducted. After stereotactic injection, the animals were anesthetized at different times and perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde solution via the heart. The brain was removed and placed in the same solution overnight at 4°C, subjected to cryoprotection in a 30% sucrose polyformaldehyde solution, frozen, and obtained 30μm coronal sections under a cryostat. The floating sections were processed with the diaminobenzidine method or double immunofluorescence analysis for Nissl staining or immunohistochemical treatment.

Dosage form

2ng/2.5μl PBS; stereotactic injection

Applications

Tideglusib treatment significantly improved brain damage in rats, reduced the loss of hippocampal cells, and significantly decreased the TNF-α positive staining in astrocytes and microglia.
