Abstract

Abstract A series of 7-azaindazolyl-indolyl-maleimides were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their GSK-3β inhibitory activity. Most compounds exhibited potent activity against GSK-3β. Among them, compounds 17a, 17b, 17g, 17i, 29a and 30 significantly reduced Aβ-induced Tau hyperphosphorylation, showin; g the inhibition of GSK-3β at the cell level. Preliminary structure–activity relationships were discussed based on the ...
