Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) suffer from mental retardation. Overexpression and the resulting increased specific activity of Dyrk1A kinase located on chromosome 21 cause a learning and memory deficit in Dyrk1A transgenic mice. To search for therapeutic agents with Dyrk1A inhibition activity, previously we obtained HCD160 as a new hit compound for Dyrk1A inhibition. In the present study, we synthesized 34 HCD160 derivatives to investigate the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR). This analysis could provide important information for novel drug discovery for treatment of DS related learning and memory deficits. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
