Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) plays an important role in a diverse number of regulatory pathways. GSK-3 inhibitors, particularly the non-ATP-competitive inhibitors, have been evaluated as promising drug candidates for a lot of unmet pathologies, such as Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes. In this paper, a molecular docking study with the published GSK-3β crystal structure and receptor-based pharmacophore modeling of four highly active non-ATP-competitive GSK-3 inhibitors were performed by DOCK 5.4 and Catalyst 4.11, respectively. The results could provide an exquisite understanding on their mechanism of interaction within the non-ATP-binding pocket of GSK-3β, meanwhile the finding of the common properties shared by these pharmacological inhibitors of GSK-3β could be helpful to further chemical optimization of such potent drug candidates.
Keywords:GSK-3β;non-ATP-competitive inhibitor;molecular dock;pharmacophore model
