          Background

          IC50: 104 ± 27 nM
          Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) is a serine/threonine kinase that has been implicated in pathological conditions such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AR-A014418 is a selective GSK-3 inhibitor.
          In vitro: ARA014418 acted as an ATP-competitive manner and did not significantly inhibit cdk2 or cdk5 or 26 other kinases demonstrating high specificity for GSK3. AR-A014418 inhibited tau phosphorylation at a GSK3-specific site (Ser-396) in cells stably expressing human four-repeat tau protein [1].
          In vivo: ARA014418 induced behavioural changes that were consistent with the effects of antidepressant drugs. Subacute intraperitoneal injections of AR-A014418 reduced immobility time in rats exposed to the forced swim test, which was a well-established model for antidepressant efficacy. Moreover, the specificity of this effect was supported by our finding that AR-A014418 decreased spontaneous as well as amphetamine-induced activity [2].
          Clinical trial: currently no clinical data were available.
