Discovery of Azaindolin-2-One as a Dual Inhibitor of GSK3β and Tau Aggregation with Potential Neuroprotective Activity

Taha F. S. Ali et al.

Summary: Inhibiting the activity of GSK3 beta and tau protein aggregation is a promising approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases. The new dual GSK3 beta/tau aggregation inhibitor (E)-2f showed excellent inhibition of GSK3 beta activity and tau protein aggregation in a cell-based model, while being non-toxic to normal cells.

PKR kinase directly regulates tau expression and Alzheimer's disease-related tau phosphorylation

Lasse Reimer et al.

Summary: The abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein, mediated by PKR kinase, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of tauopathies like Alzheimer's disease. PKR can directly phosphorylate tau at specific residues, leading to its displacement from microtubules and dysregulation of gene expression, particularly during acute brain inflammation.

An Integrated Bioinformatics Study of a Novel Niclosamide Derivative, NSC765689, a Potential GSK3 beta/beta-Catenin/STAT3/CD44 Suppressor with Anti-Glioblastoma Properties

Ntlotlang Mokgautsi et al.

Summary: Despite current standard treatment options, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, glioblastoma multiform (GBM) remains resistant to therapy due to the presence of glioma stem cells (GSCs). In this study, a newly synthesized compound, NSC765689, was identified as a potential pharmacological lead compound for targeting GBM oncogenic signaling pathways. Through in silico molecular docking and in vitro studies, NSC765689 showed promising anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effects against GBM cells by targeting key oncogenes such as GSK3 beta, beta-Catenin, STAT3, and CD44, as well as upregulating the tumor suppressor miR-135b. Further research is needed to validate the efficacy of NSC765689 as a novel potential therapeutic for GBM.

Structure-Based Design of Potent Selective Nanomolar Type-II Inhibitors of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β

Matthew P. Davies et al.

Summary: The study introduces the in silico design, screening, and in vitro validation of potent GSK-3 beta type-II inhibitors, leading to the identification of highly potent nanomolar inhibitors with potential neuroprotective effects. The designed inhibitors show promise as a potential route toward more clinically effective GSK-3 beta inhibitors.
