Abstract
Elevated circulating glucose level due to β-cell dysfunction has been a key marker of Type-II diabetes. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) has been recognized as an enzyme involved in the control of glycogen metabolism. Consequently, inhibitors of GSK-3 have been explored for anti-diabetic effects in vitro and in animal models. Further, the mechanisms governing the regulation of this enzyme have been elucidated by means of a combination of structural and cellular biological investigations. This review article examines the structural analysis of GSK-3 as well as molecular modeling reports from numerous researchers in the context of the design and development of GSK-3 inhibitors. This article centers on the signaling pathway of GSK-3 relevant to its potential as a target for diabetes and discusses advancements till date on different molecular modification approaches used by researchers in the development of novel GSK-3 inhibitors as potential therapeutics for the treatment of Type II diabetes.
期刊介绍：
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
