Application

Indirubin-3′-oxime has been used in the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3 in human monocytic cell line, THP-1.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Indirubin-3′-oxime is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor which functions by competing with ATP for binding to the catalytic subunit; exhibits antiproliferative activity leading to G2/M arrest in many cell lines and G1/S arrest in Jurkat cells.
Indirubin-3′-oxime mediates apoptosis in Jurkat T cells and has anti-tumor functionality. Indirubin-3′-oxime inhibits Y box binding protein 1 (YB1) translocation, contributing to anticancer functionality. Indirubin-3′-oxime decreases expression of estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ co-activator-1α (PGC1α) in human neuroblastoma, leading to cell cycle arrest and mitochondrial dysfunction.
