Structure-activity relationship of the 7-hydroxy benzimidazole analogs as glycogen synthase kinase 3β inhibitor

Design, synthesis and the GSK3β inhibitory activities of the 7-hydroxy benzimidazole analogs are described. The solid-phase synthetic route was also developed for preparation of the analogs consisting of the novel ATP competitive scaffold. In addition, the structure-activity relationship of the 7-hydroxy benzimidazole analogs and their biological activities are reported.
