摘要: Indirubins are natural occurring alkaloids extracted from indigo dye-containing plants. could inhibit various kinases, and might be used to treat chronic myelocytic leukemia, cancer neurodegenerative disorders. 7-bromoindirubin-3-oxime (7Bio), an indirubin derivative derived indirubin-3-oxime, possesses inhibitory effects against cyclin-dependent kinase-5 (CDK5) glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β), two pharmacological targets of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we have discovered that 2.3-23.3 μg/kg 7Bio effectively prevented β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomer-induced impairments spatial cognition recognition without affecting bodyweight motor functions in mice. Moreover, potently inhibited Aβ expression interleukin-6 (IL-6) tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Furthermore, significantly the decreased synapsin-1 PSD-95, biomarkers pre-synaptic post-synaptic proteins oligomer-treated The mean optical density (OD) with hyper-phosphorylated tau (pTau), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) CD45 positive staining hippocampus 7Bio-treated mice were compared those addition, Western blotting analysis showed attenuated oligomer-decreased pSer9-GSK3β. Those results suggested neuroinflammation, synaptic impairments, hyper-phosphorylation, activation astrocytes microglia, which may contribute neuroprotective 7Bio. Based on these findings, expected developed as a novel anti-AD lead compound.
