abstract

  • A family of compounds based upon the chemical structure of valproate were synthesized and assayed for their ability to inhibit glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3 alpha and beta activity in vitro. This data is correlated to the known anti-convulsant properties of these compounds in order to determine the potential role of GSK-3 inhibition in the therapeutic efficacy of these drugs.
