Chemical Structure

Biological activities

CHIR-98014 is a potent inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). The IC50s of CHIR-98014 against human GSK-3α and GSK-3β is 0.65 and 0.58 nM, respectively. CHIR-98014 inhibits human GSK-3β with a Ki of 0.87 nM. The EC50s of CHIR-98014 for glycogen synthase (GS) in CHO-IR cells and rat hepatocytes are 106 and 107 nM, respectively.[1] Acute treatment (30 minutes) of CHIR-98014 does-dependently activates GS in cultured human skeletal muscle cells with a maximally effective concentration of approximately 2 µM.[2] CHIR-98014 increases the sensitivity of soleus muscle from ZDF rats to insulin, increasing the maximal rate of glucose transport to 71% of the rate in muscle from lean animals. In diabetic and insulin-resistantdb/db mice in vivo, CHIR-98014 treatment (30 mg/kg) within 4 hours displays a significant reduction in fasting hyperglycemia and shows improved glucose disposal during an (intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test) ipGTT.[1] Furthermore, CHIR-98014 also decreases tau phosphorylation (Ser396) in the cortex and hippocampus of postnatal rats in vivo.[3]

Protocols

In vitro: CHIR-98014 is dissolved in DMSO.[3]
