Abstract

The present work focuses on indole derivatives due to their promising inhibition activity toward GSK-3b. New compounds based on the indole moiety were synthesized via Japp-Klingemann indole synthesis. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of their FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectral data, GC-HRMS and elemental analysis. The in vitro GSK-3b inhibitory activity of the new compounds was evaluated using a luminance assay technique in terms of IC50. Compound Aii11 showed excellent inhibitory activity. Compounds Aii2, Aii1 and Aii3 presented promising GSK-3b inhibitory activity.

Keywords
