Indirubin-3-oxime
Chemical Name:3-[1,3-Dihydro-3-(hydroxyimino)-2H-indol-2-ylidene]-1,3
-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one
Biological Activity:
Protein
kinase inhibitor: inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases (IC50 =
0.18-3.33 μM) and GSK-3β (IC50 = 0.19 μM). Inhibits CDK5- and GSK-3β-mediated tau phosphorylation, a
process over-active in Alzheimer disease states. Also inhibits AMPK, LCK and
SGK. Induces cell cycle arrest and inhibits cell proliferation.
