Abstract

Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) inhibition is expected to be a promising therapeutic approach for treating Alzheimer's disease. Previously we reported a series of 1, 3, 4- oxadiazole derivatives as potent and highly selective GSK-3β inhibitors, however, the representative compounds 1a, b showed poor pharmacokinetic profiles. Efforts were made to address this issue by reducing molecular weight and lipophilicity, leading to the ...
