Description

Cu(II)GTSM, a cell-permeable Cu-complex, significantly inhibits GSK3β. Cu(II)GTSM inhibits Amyloid-β oligomers (AβOs) and decreases tau phosphorylation. Cu(II)GTSM also decreases the abundance of Amyloid-β trimers. Cu(II)GTSM is a potential anticancer and antimicrobial agent[1][2].

IC50 & Target[2]

GSK3β

 

Amyloid-β oligomers

 

In Vitro

Cu(II)GTSM induces GSK3β phosphorylation at serine-9 (ser9) via its upstream kinase, protein kinase B (Akt), and aslo increases the phosphorylation of the associated extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) in SH-SY5Y cells.
Tau phosphorylation at ser404 was decreased in CuII(gtsm)-treated cells by 64%[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: SH-SY5Y cells
Concentration: 25 μM
Incubation Time: 2 hours
Result: Inhibits GSK3β and decreases Tau phosphorylation.
In Vivo

Cu(II)GTSM decreases brain Aβ trimer levels in AD mice, and can reverse cognitive deficits in APP/PS1 transgenic AD mice[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: AD mice (K670N, M671L; 5-6 months old)[2]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: Daily; p.o.
Result: Restores cognitive performance of the AD mice to levels expected for healthy, cognitively normal mice.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: 0.67 mg/mL (2.28 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 0.67 mg/mL.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (6.7 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 0.67 mg/mL (2.28 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 0.67 mg/mL.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (6.7 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
