Application

Thiamet G has been used as an O-GlcNAcase inhibitor:
  • to treat human embryonic kidney 293 cells in order to study its effect on Wnt/beta-catenin signalling
  • to treat lytically-replicating producer
  • to incubate mice (C57BL/6) aortic segments to increase global O-GlcNAc levels

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thiamet G is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme O-GlcNAcase (Ki = 21 nM). The compound is orally bioavailable and crosses the blood brain barrier. Thiamet G leads to an increase in O-GlcNAc-modified proteins in cell-based and in vivo assay systems, and reduces levels of phosphorylated Tau protein in rat cortex and hippocampus.

Pathological hyperphosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau is characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the associated tauopathies. The reciprocal relationship between phosphorylation and O-GlcNAc modification of tau and reductions in O-GlcNAc levels on tau in AD brain offers motivation for

Oligomerization of tau is a key process contributing to the progressive death of neurons in Alzheimer's disease. Tau is modified by O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), and O-GlcNAc can influence tau phosphorylation in certain cases. We therefore speculated that increasing tau O-GlcNAc
