Biochem/physiol Actions

A-1070722 is a potent brain-penetrant inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) α and β isoforms with a Ki of 0.6 nM for both GSK-3α and GSK-3β. A-1070722 showed > 50-fold selectivity for GSK-3 over a panel of other kinases tested, including CDK family members. A-1070722 decreased phosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein Tau and protected rat primary cortical neurons against β amyloid and glutamate challenge.
