AZD2858 (1 μM) increases β-catenin levels after a short period of time in human osteoblast cells. AZD2858 inhibits GSK-3β dependent phosphorylation with an IC50 of 68 nM. AZD2858 (10 nM) has no effect on β-catenin levels[1]. AZD2858 increases TAZ expression and osterix expression both by 1.4-fold, with EC50 of 440 nM and 1.2 μM, respectively, in hADSC. AZD2858 also induces a marked increase in osteogenic mineralisation in hADSC[3]. AZD2858 (AR28) demonstrates from 70- to greater than 6000-fold selectivity over a panel of other kinases and an IC50 of 5 nM. AR28 inhibits GSK-3 in murine cells and indicates activation of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascade. AR28 (50, 10, and 1 nM) enhances the clonogenic ability of mesenchymal progenitors with osteogenic and adipogenic potential. AR28 (50 μM) also enhances the differentiation ability of mesenchymal progenitors to the osteogenic but not adipogenic lineage in vitro[4].

Treatment of cells with AZD2858 leads to the induction of both PRC and c-MYC under conditions where the NRF-2α control is unaffected. Human log phase U2OS cells are plated and treated with either vehicle, the GSK-3 inhibitor, AZD2858, or with CCCP for 24 h. Total cell extracts are subjected to immunoblotting using rabbit anti-PRC(1047-1379), mouse anti-c-MYC, rabbit anti-pGSK-3α/β(Ser9/21), rabbit anti-GSK-3α/β or rabbit anti-NRF-2α as the control.

Protocol
The potency of compounds at GSK-3β and cyclin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CDK2, kinase with closest homology to GSK-3β) is assessed using Z-LYTE™ Kinase assay kit in the presence of 7 and 80 μM ATP respectively. A ratiometric method is used to calculate the ratio of donor emission (445 nm) to acceptor emission (520 nm) after excitation of the donor fluorophore at 400 nm to quantitate the reaction progress. Kinase selectivity with AR79, AZD2858 and AZ13282107 are determined using the KinaseProfiler Service or University of Dundee Kinase. Over 80 different kinases are assessed at a single concentration of 1 or 10 μM of AR79, AZD2858 and AZ13282107. Concentration-inhibition 10-point curves to compounds that show activity are constructed to determine pIC50 estimations. Also, in some kinase assays these pIC50 estimations are converted to binding affinity values (pKi) using the Cheng-Prussoff equation to correct for the concentration of ATP used[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Each rat is dosed orally with vehicle or AZD2858 using a plastic gavage tube. The dose volume is 10 mL/kg. The vehicle consists of deionized water adjusted to pH 3.5±0.1. Formulations are adjusted to pH 3.5±0.1. The doses are 0, 0.2, 2 or 20 mg/kg respectively and administered either twice daily (TD), once daily (OD), every other day (O/2D), or every fourth day (O/4D) for 14 days. In total, the protocol results in 13 groups with 8 animals in each group (104 animals). At 7 days after the start of the study, and again 2 days prior to the scheduled terminal necropsy, each animal is injected subcutaneously with a bicarbonate buffered calcein solution (8 mg/kg, 1 mL/kg)[1].
