TDZD-8

TDZD-8 is a serine/threonine glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK-3beta) inhibitor. GSK-3beta is abundant in the central nervous system, particularly in the hippocampus, and plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases, including neurodegeneration. TDZD-8 protects the brain against I/R injury by inhibiting GSK-3beta activity. TDZD-8 decreased proliferation and induced apoptosis of GL261 glioblastoma cells in vitro, delayed tumor growth in vivo, and augmented animal survival. These effects were associated with an early activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway and increased expression of EGR-1 and p21 genes.
