Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Kenpaullone is a potent ATP-competitive GSK3-β and CDK inhibitor. The IC50 of kenpaullone is 23 nM against GSK3-β.[1] The IC50 of kenpaullone is 0.4 µM against CDK1.[2] Kenpaullone inhibits CDK2/cyclin A, CDK2/cyclin E and CDK4/cyclin D1 with an IC50 of 0.68, 7.5 and 100 µM, respectively.[3] Kenpaullone dose-dependently inhibits TGF-β-induced RORγt induction. Kenpaullone suppresses Th17 differentiation. Kenpaullone strongly promotes iTreg development under Th17 conditions. Kenpaullone also promotes Foxp3 protein levels. Kenpaullone significantly ameliorates the severity of EAE and reduced infiltration of Th17 cells into the central nerve system (CNS). Kenpaullone at 1 µM slightly decreases GSK-3β phosphorylation and enhances β-catenin accumulation. Kenpaullone inhibits CDKs more strongly than GSK-3β under Th17 conditions. [1] Kenpaullone decreases mutant SOD1 levels. Kenpaullone promotes survival of motor neurons derived from human ALS iPSCs.[4] Kenpaullone induces a slight increase in proliferation of MCF7 cells.[5] Kenpaullone requires transduction of c-Myc for reprogramming.[6] Kenpaullone inhibits NF-κB in U251, T98, and U87 cells.[7] Kenpaullone suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a typical Th17-mediated autoimmune disease model in mice.[1]

Protocols

In vitro: Kenpaullone are dissolved in 100% DMSO.[7]
