General description

The racemic mixture of a cell-permeable pyridocarbazolo-cyclopentadienyl Ruthenium complex that acts as a reversible, ATP-competitive, and highly potent inhibitor of GSK-3 (IC50 = 0.4 and 0.6 nM for GSK-3α and GSK-3β, respectively) with ∼5-fold selectivity over PIM-1 kinase (IC50 = 3 nM). Studies using isolated enantiomers have shown that the (R)-enantiomer is GSK-3-selective (IC50 = 0.35, 0.55, and 35 nM for GSK-3α GSK-3β, and Pim-1, respectively) and interferes with normal zebrafish embryo development (1 µM), while the (S)-enantiomer is Pim-1-selective (IC50 = 80, 90, and 3 nM for GSK-3α GSK-3β, and Pim-1, respectively) and exhibits no effect in embryo development at the same dosage.

Evolution of highly invasive placentation in the stem lineage of eutherians and subsequent extension of pregnancy set eutherians apart from other mammals, that is, marsupials with short-lived placentas, and oviparous monotremes. Recent studies suggest that eutherian implantation evolved from marsupial
