Using a virtual screening strategy based on a methodology derived from the CATS
molecular descriptor, a novel compound class with inhibitory activity against the GSK-3
enzyme was identified through scaffold hopping. These compounds were readily
synthesized, either by solid-phase or solution-phase chemistry. Compounds with inhibitory
activity below 1 μM were identified.
