How to use

In Vitro:

Indirubin-3'-monoxime inhibits GSK-3β by competing with ATP, with Ki of 0.85 μM, and Km of 110 μM. Indirubin-3'-monoxime also inhibits tau phosphorylation by GSK-3β, with an IC50 value of around 100 nM. Indirubin-3'-monoxime completely inhibits the phosphorylation of the AT100 epitope. Indirubin-3'-monoxime inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation with IC50 of ∼2 µM. Indirubin-3'-monoxime blunts migration of VSMC stimulated with the PDGF. Indirubin-3'-monoxime interferes with the migratory response in VSMC, and also suppresses the production of pro-migratory LT in monocytes. Moreover, Indirubin-3'-monoxime inhibits 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) product synthesis in monocytes and neutrophils, with the same potency (IC50=5.0±1.1 and 3.7±1.2 µM, respectively). Indirubin-3'-monoxime is an inhibitor of 5-LO, with IC50 of 7.8-10 µM in cell-free assay.

In Vivo:

Indirubin-3'-monoxime (0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg, i.p) dose dependently reverses the cognitive impairment and combats the elevated oxidative stress markers in HFD fed mice. Indirubin-3'-monoxime also dose dependently lowers the serum glucose, TGs, TC and insulin levels, and improves the β-cell functioning in HFD fed mice. Moreover, Indirubin-3'-monoxime treatment significantly decreases HOMA-IR levels compared to HFD group. Indirubin-3'-monoxime (0.4 mg/kg) significantly attenuates the increased EL in the HFD group.
