    Description

    IM-12 is an inhibitor of GSK-3β, with an IC50 of 53 nM, and also enhances Wnt signalling.

    IC50 & Target[1]

    GSK-3β

    53 nM (IC50)

    In Vitro

    IM-12 inhibits GSK-3β in ReNcell VM cells, with I50 of 3.8 μM. IM-12 (3 μM) enhances the β-catenin amount, with no further effect at lower or higher concentration. IM-12 (3 μM) also attenuates the proliferation of ReNCell VM cells. IM-12 increases TCF-activity of ReNcell VM[1].

    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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.62 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

    Kinase Assay
    [1]

    Cells are lysed in RIPA buffer, supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors and centrifuged for 5 min at 15,000 rpm. Immunoprecipitation of GSK-3β is performed with a specific mouse monoclonal anti GSK-3β [G8] antibody with 5 μg/sample for 2 h at 4°C. The bound protein is precipitated with Protein A/G-Plus agarose-beads (10 μL beads per sample). GSK-3β kinase activity is measured in a reaction mixture containing final concentrations of: 4 mM MOPS pH 7.2; 0.4 mM EDTA; 1 mM EGTA; 2.5 mM β-glycerophosphate; 4 mM MgCl2; 40 μM BSA; 0.05 mM DTT. 10 μg/sample pGS-2 peptide substrate is used[1].

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    To measure viable cells, 50-100 μL of cell suspension is analyzed using CASY technology with the appropriate program. ReNcell VM cells are seeded at a defined cell number and proliferated for 24 h. Then the medium is changed to proliferation medium with added substances at indicated concentrations. The cell number is determined every 24 h. Cells are exposed to the added drugs during the whole experiment, whereas the media is changed every 24 h[1].

    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.
