Glycogen synthase kinase 3b (GSK-3b)a nd casein kinase 1d (CK-1d)a re emerging targets for the treatment of neuroinflammatoryd isorders, includingP arkinson's disease. An inhibitor able to target these two kinases was developed by dockingbased design.C ompound 12,3 -(7-amino-5-(cyclohexylamino)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-2-cyanoacrylamide, showed combined inhibitory activity against GSK-3b and CK-1d [IC 50 (GSK-3b) = 0.17 mm;I C 50 (CK-1d) = 0.68 mm]. In particular, classical ATPc ompetition was observed against CK-1d,a nd a co-crystal of compound 12 inside GSK-3b confirmed ac ovalent interaction between the cyanoacrylamide warhead and Cys199, which could help in the development of more potent covalent inhibitors of GSK-3b.P reliminary studies on in vitro modelso fP arkinson'sd isease revealed that compound 12 is not cytotoxic and shows neuroprotective activity.T hese results encourage further investigations to validate GSK-3b/CK-1d inhibitiona sapossible new strategy to treat neuroinflammatory/degenerative diseases.Parkinson'sd isease (PD) is the second most common neurodegeneratived isorder after Alzheimer's disease. The main pathological hallmarks of PD are the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the presence of eosinophilic inclusions, called Lewy bodies (LB), in the substantia nigra parsc ompacta of the midbrain. [1] These abnormalities are the result of ac omplex pathological process that includes oxidative stress, mitochondriald ysfunction, protein aggregation, and neuroinflammation. In recent years, many researchers have reported that GSK-3b is implicated in microglial-mediated inflammation. [2] Additionally,C K-1d is also involved in the neuroinflammatory process, mainly due to its role in the Wnt and Hedgehogp athways. [3] Furthermore, GSK-3b and CK-1d are responsible for the phosphorylation of proteins that are abundant in the LB, including tau, a-synuclein, and parkin. [4] The hyperphosphorylation of these proteins is responsible for their aggregation in LB. [5] These observations suggest that dual GSK-3b/CK-1d inhibition could be an interesting multitarget strategy to treat neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases such as PD. [6] For these reasons,w ed ecided to use the versatile adenine-like [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine( TT) nucleus to begin synthesizing new inhibitors. [7] In particular,i nc ompounds 1-6,afew amino substitutions were inserted at the 7-and 5-positions. [8,9] GSK-3b inhibition was displayed by the 5,7-dicyclohexylamino derivative 4 [IC 50 (GSK-3b) = 5.02 mm]( Ta ble1). Unfortunately,no affinity was detected towardt he other target enzyme, CK-1d. We therefore introduced the 3-amidophenyl moiety at the 2positiono ft he TT scaffold. [10] This decision was inspired by the potent CK-1d inhibitor D4476 (7,T able 1), and based on previous findings (datan ot shown) that meta substitutions are preferred. Compounds 8 and 9 showed promisingI C 50 values toward CK-1d [8,I C 50 (CK-1d) = 2.59 mm; 9,I C 50 (CK-1d) = 4.28 mm]( Ta ble 1), but they were inactive ag...
