AZD 1080 Usage And Synthesis

Description

The two isoforms of glycogen synthase kinase 3, GSK3α and GSK3β, constitutively phosphorylate and inactivate glycogen synthase, preventing glycogen synthesis. They also phosphorylate proteins that are relevant to Alzheimer’s disease and osteogenesis. AZD 1080 is a potent, brain permeable inhibitor of GSK3α and GSK3β (K_is = 6.9 and 31 nM, respectively). It shows >14-fold selectivity against several kinases, receptors, enzymes, and ion channels. AZD 1080 inhibits tau phosphorylation in cells. It shows good bioavailability after oral administration in vivo, inhibiting hippocampal tau phosphorylation and reversing cognitive deficits induced by the NMDA receptor antagonist (+)-MK-801 . In humans, oral AZD 1080 inhibits GSK3 activity in peripheral blood lymphocytes following an initial delay in response.

Uses

AZD1080 is a selective, orally active, brain permeable glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) inhibitor (1,2). AZD1080 has shown to rescue synaptic plasticity deficits in rodent brain and exhibit peripheral target engagement in humans.

Definition

ChEBI: AZD1080 is a member of the class of hydroxyindoles that is 1H-indole substituted by hydroxy, 5-(morpholin-4-ylmethyl)pyridin-2-yl, and cyano groups at positions 2, 3 and 5, respectively. It is a potent, brain permeable inhibitor of human GSK3alpha and GSK3beta with Ki of 6.9 nM and 31 nM, respectively. The drug was being developed by AstraZeneca for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (clinical trial now discontinued). It has a role as an EC 2.7.11.26 (tau-protein kinase) inhibitor, a tau aggregation inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent and an apoptosis inducer. It is a member of morpholines, a member of pyridines, a member of hydroxyindoles, a nitrile and a tertiary amino compound.
