The present invention relates to inhibitors of GSK-3 and methods for producing these inhibitors. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the inhibitors and methods of utilizing those compositions in the treatment and prevention of various disorders, such as diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the invention relates to molecules or molecular complexes which comprise binding pockets of GSK-3&bgr; or its homologues. The invention relates to a computer comprising a data storage medium encoded with the structure coordinates of such binding pockets. The invention also relates to methods of using the structure coordinates to solve the structure of homologous proteins or protein complexes. The invention relates to methods of using the structure coordinates to screen for and design compounds that bind to GSK-3&bgr; protein or homologues thereof. The invention also relates to crystallizable compositions and crystals comprising GSK-3&bgr; protein or GSK-3&bgr; protein complexes.
本发明涉及GSK-3的抑制剂及制备这些抑制剂的方法。本发明还提供了包含这些抑制剂的药物组合物,并提供了利用这些组合物在治疗和预防各种疾病,如糖尿病和阿尔茨海默病等方面的方法。此外,本发明涉及包含GSK-3β或其同源物的结合口袋的分子或分子复合物。本发明涉及一种计算机,其包括一个数据存储介质,编码有这些结合口袋的结构坐标。本发明还涉及利用这些结构坐标来解决同源蛋白质或蛋白质复合物的结构的方法。本发明涉及利用这些结构坐标来筛选和设计能够结合到GSK-3β蛋白或其同源物的化合物的方法。本发明还涉及包含GSK-3β蛋白或GSK-3β蛋白复合物的可结晶组合物和晶体。
