Bioactivity | Laduviglusib (CHIR-99021) is a potent, selective and orally active GSK-3α/β inhibitor with IC50s of 10 nM and 6.7 nM. Laduviglusib shows >500-fold selectivity for GSK-3 over CDC2, ERK2 and other protein kinases. Laduviglusib is also a potent Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activator. Laduviglusib enhances mouse and human embryonic stem cells self-renewal. Laduviglusib induces autophagy[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Laduviglusib (1-10 μM, 3 days) reduces the viability of the ES-D3 cells with an IC50 of 4.9 μM[2].Laduviglusib (5 μM, 48 h) activates the canonical Wnt-pathway in ES-D3 cells and ES-CCE cells[2].Laduviglusib (3 µM, 4 days) inhibits ES cell differentiation into neural cells[3].Laduviglusib (1 µM, 2 weeks) inhibits adipogenesis by blocking induction of C/EBPα and PPARγ in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes[4].Laduviglusib (2.5 µM, 24 h) protects Lgr5+ cells against radiation-induced apoptosis[5].
