Liu, Jian-Guo;Zhao, Danfeng;Gong, Qi;Bao, Fengxia;Chen, Wen-Wen;Zhang, Haiyan;Xu, Ming-Hua research published 《 Development of Bisindole-Substituted Aminopyrazoles as Novel GSK-3β Inhibitors with Suppressive Effects against Microglial Inflammation and Oxidative Neurotoxicity》, the research content is summarized as follows. Development of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) inactivation-centric agents with polypharmacol. profiles is increasingly recognized as a promising therapeutic strategy against the multifactorial etiopathol. of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this respect, a series of disubstituted aminopyrazole derivatives were designed and synthesized as a new class of GSK-3β inhibitors. Most of these derivatives possess GSK-3β inhibitory activities with IC50 values in the micromolar ranges, among which bisindole-substituted aminopyrazole derivative 6h displayed moderate GSK-3β inhibition (IC50 = 1.76 ± 0.19μM), and alleviative effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced glial inflammation in BV-2 cells and glutamate-induced oxidative neurotoxicity in HT-22 cells. Further in vivo studies indicated that compound 6h(I) had potent anti-inflammatory effect, by showing markedly reduced microglial activation and astrocyte proliferation in the brain of LPS-injected mice. Overall, the simultaneous modulation of 6h on multiple dysfunctions of disease network highlights this structural distinctively bisindole-substituted aminopyrazole could be a useful prototype for the discovery of novel therapeutic agents to tackle AD and other GSK-3β associated complex neurol. syndromes.
771-51-7, 3-Indoleacetonitrile is a plant growth activator, which promotes callus growth and shoot formation in tobacco callus.
3-Indoleacetonitrile (Indolylacetonitrile) is a light-induced auxin-inhibitory substance that is isolated from light-grown cabbage (Brassica olearea L.) shoots. It inhibits the biofilm formation of both E. coli O157:H7 and P. aeruginosa without affecting its growth.
3-Indoleacetonitrile, also known as 3-(cyanomethyl)indole or IAN, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. 3-alkylindoles are compounds containing an indole moiety that carries an alkyl chain at the 3-position. 3-Indoleacetonitrile exists as a solid and is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral. Within the cell, 3-indoleacetonitrile is primarily located in the mitochondria. 3-Indoleacetonitrile participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 3-indoleacetonitrile can be biosynthesized from acetonitrile. 3-Indoleacetonitrile is also a parent compound for other transformation products, including but not limited to, cys(ian)-gly, gammaglucys(ian), and L-cys(ian). Outside of the human body, 3-indoleacetonitrile can be found in a number of food items such as cloudberry, japanese persimmon, horned melon, and evergreen huckleberry. This makes 3-indoleacetonitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Indole-3-acetonitrile is a nitrile that is acetonitrile where one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 1H-indol-3-yl group. It has a role as an auxin, a plant hormone, a plant metabolite and a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a nitrile and a member of indoles. It derives from an acetonitrile., Recommanded Product: 2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)acetonitrile
