Application

SB-216763 was used to inhibit GSK-3β in human brain microvascular endothelial cell line and colorectal cancer cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SB-216763 is a small molecule that competes with ATP and potently inhibits the activity α and β isozymes of GSK-3. It acts as neuroprotectant and prevents neuronal cell death induced by PI3-kinase pathway. It also delays preconditioning, reduces infarct size and prevents cardiac ischemia.
Potent, selective, cell permeable glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitor.

The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)/protein kinase B (PKB; also known as Akt) signalling pathway is recognized as playing a central role in the survival of diverse cell types. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine protein kinase that

Previous studies in our laboratory suggest that an acute inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) by SB-216763 (SB21) is cardioprotective when administered just before reperfusion. However, it is unknown whether the GSK inhibitor SB21 administered 24 h before ischemia

The Akt - GSK3 signaling pathway has been recently implicated in psychostimulant-induced behavioral and cellular effects. Here, the ability of cocaine to regulate the activity of Akt and GSK3 was investigated by measuring the phosphorylation states of the two kinases.
