[资源] Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) and Its Inhibitors

Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) and Its Inhibitors: Drug Discovery and Development
Ana Martinez, Ana Castro,
Wiley
2006
ISBN-10: 0471770019

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK–3) was discovered about twenty–five years ago but had garnered little interest until recently. Now many researchers believe that there is much potential for this "old" enzyme and are re–examining its biological characteristics. GSK–3 and its inhibitors could lead to effective treatments for neurogenerative disorders, type II diabetes, depression and bipolar disorder, and some forms of cancer. This book explores the nature of this promising enzyme, providing a thorough introduction and discussion, and mentions the birth of several chemical families of GSK–3 inhibitors with varying selectivity.
