Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3)has become known for its multifactorial involvement in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In this study, a benzothiazole- and benzimidazole set of 1-aryl-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)ureas were synthesised as proposed Cys199-targeted covalent inhibitors of GSK-3β, through the incorporation of an electrophilic warhead onto their ring scaffolds. The nitrile-substituted benzimidazolylurea 2b (IC50 = 0.086 ± 0.023 μM)and halomethylketone-substituted benzimidazolylurea 9b (IC50 = 0.13 ± 0.060 μM)displayed high GSK-3β inhibitory activity, in comparison to reference inhibitor AR-A014418 (1, IC50 = 0.072 ± 0.043)in our assay. The results suggest further investigation of 2b and 9b as potential covalent inhibitors of GSK-3β, since a targeted interaction might provide improved kinase-selectivity.

Within a project aimed at discovering new Flaviviridae inhibitors, new variously substituted 2-phenylbenzimidazoles were synthesized and evaluated in cell-based assays for cytotoxicity and antiviral activity against viruses representatives of the three genera of the Flaviviridae family, i.e.: Pestivirus (BVDV), Flavivirus (YFV) and Hepacivirus (HCV). Title compounds were also tested against RNA viruses representative of other single-stranded, positive-sense (ssRNA+) negative-sense (RNA-), or double-stranded (dsRNA) genomes, as well as against representatives of two DNA virus families. Nine compounds showed activity against BVDV (EC50 = 0.8-8.0 μM), compound 31 being the most potent (EC50 = 0.80 μM) and selective (SI = CC50/EC50 = >100). When tested in an HCV replicon assay, compound 31 resulted again the most potent, displaying an EC50 value of 1.11 μM and an SI of 100. Besides inhibiting BVDV, two compounds (35 and 38) showed a moderate activity also against YFV (EC 50 = 13 μM). Interestingly, 35 was moderately active also against RSV (EC50 = 25 μM).
