title: Rational design of 4-amino-5,6-diaryl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines as potent glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibitors.
abstract: 4-Amino-5,6-diaryl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines have been identified as inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta). One representative derivative, 4-amino-3-(4-(benzenesulfonylamino)-phenyl)-2-(3-pyridyl)-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (12) exhibited potent GSK-3beta inhibitory activity in low nanomolar level of IC(50). The binding mode was proposed from a docking study.
