MMBO

[Synonym ]:
1,3,4-Oxadiazole, 2-methyl-5-[3-[4-[(S)-(1S)-methylsulfinyl]phenyl]-5-benzofuranyl]-

Biological Activity

[Description]:

MMBO is a potent, highly selective, brain penetrant, orally active inhibitor of GSK-3 with IC50 of 37 and 53 nM for GSK-3α and GSK-3β, respectively; inhibits tau phosphorylation in primary neural cell culture and also in normal mouse brain, significantly decreases hippocampal tau phosphorylation at GSK-3 sites in transgenic mouse model of AD; suppresses tau pathology as assessed by AT8-immunoreactivity without affecting amyloid β pathology, significantly improves memory and cognitive deficits in AD models.
