Deregulation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway is closely related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β), the central negative regulator of Wnt pathway, is regarded as an important target for these diseases. Here, we report a series of benzo[e]isoindole-1,3-dione derivatives as selective GSK-3β inhibitors by rational-design and synthesis, which show high selectivity against GSK-3β over Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), and significantly activate the cellular Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The structure-activity relationship of these GSK-3β inhibitors was also explored by in silico molecular docking.

A new series of potent TG2 inhibitors are reported that employ a 4-aminopiperidine core bearing an acrylamide warhead. We establish the structure-activity relationship of this new series and report on the transglutaminase selectivity and in vitro ADME properties of selected compounds. We demonstrate that the compounds do not conjugate glutathione in an in vitro setting and have superior plasma stability over our previous series.
