Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12928438

AstraZeneca was developing the thiazole AR-AO-14418, a selective inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β), for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and major depressive disorder. AR-AO-14418 is an important research tool in as much as, at concentrations that AR-AO-14418 is able to inhibit GSK3 activity, this compound did not affect the activity of other 26 protein kinases tested, and especially does not inhibit cdc2 and cdk5, two GSK3-related kinases that are inhibited by published GSK3 inhibitors. Furthermore, AR-AO-14418 constitutes a lead compound with therapeutic potential for the treatment of AD, as well as other neurodegenerative disorders. Later preclinical studies of AR-AO-14418 were discontinued.
