Abstract

Benzo [e] isoindole-1, 3-dione derivatives were synthesized, and the effects on GSK-3β activity and zebrafish embryo growth were evaluated. A series of derivatives show obvious inhibitory activity against GSK-3β. The most potent inhibitor, 7, 8-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzo [e] isoindole-1, 3-dione (8a), shows nanomolar IC50 and obvious phenotype on zebrafish embryo growth associated with the inhibition of GSK-3β at low micromolar concentration. ...
