| Bioactivity | DAPT (GSI-IX) is a potent and orally active γ-secretase inhibitor with IC50s of 115 nM and 200 nM for total amyloid-β (Aβ) and Aβ42, respectively. DAPT inhibits the activation of Notch 1 signaling and induces cell differentiation. DAPT also induces autophagy and apoptosis. DAPT has neuroprotection activity and has the potential for autoimmune and lymphoproliferative diseases, degenerative disease and cancers treatment[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | DAPT inhibits Aβ production over 90%, effects only a modest reduction in APPβ in the culture media. Although APPβ is reduced by about 30% by DAPT treatment, this effect is not concentration-dependent and is reversed by the removal of DAPT[1].CNE-2 cells are treated with increasing concentrations of DAPT (0, 25, 50 and 75 μM), and the γ-secretase-generated Notch 1 fragment Val1744-NICD is decreased after 48 h in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). The activation of γ-secretase is almost completely inhibited by DAPT at the concentration of 50 μM[3]. | ||||||||||||
