3-Anilino-4-arylmaleimides: potent and selective inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3)

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Mar 12;11(5):635-9. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00721-6.

Abstract

Potent 3-anilino-4-arylmaleimide glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitors have been prepared using automated array methodology. A number of these are highly selective, having little inhibitory potency against more than 20 other protein kinases.
