Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) is a crucial enzyme linked to various cellular processes, including neurodegeneration, autophagy, and diabetes. A structurally diverse set of 1293 molecules having GSK-3β modulatory activity has been used. Molecular docking and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) have been used concomitantly.

Introduction: A series of 15 thiazolyl hydrazone derivatives of chromone-3- carbaldehyde have been designed and synthesized by the cyclization of thiosemicarbazone derivatives of chromone-3-carbaldehydes with 4'-substituted-2-bromo acetophenones.

Methods: All these derivatives were evaluated for antioxidant activity by their direct scavenging activity objects to reactive oxygen species such as DPPH, and nitric oxide, as well as antiinflammatory activity by a protein denaturation method. Most of these synthesized compounds have shown significant antioxidant activity, among which the compounds 5b, 5c, 5e, 5g, and 5j showed very good antioxidant activities in comparison with the standard ascorbic acid.

A series of novel substituted 2-pyrimidinyl-2,3-dihydro-1-naphtho[1,2-][1, 3]oxazine analogs have been designed and synthesized based on structure-activity relationships from 2-naphthol, substituted pyrimidinyl amines and formalin through ring closure by one-pot three component reaction. These derivatives were evaluated for their cytotoxicity, cell cycle assay and their inhibitory effect on tubulin polymerization. From the MTT assay, it is clear that most of the synthesized compounds displayed potent cytotoxic activities on HeLa (cervical cancer) and B16F10 (melanoma) cancerous cell lines.

1,3-oxazine nucleus and thiazolyl group features prominently in many biologically important natural products as well as bioactive molecules. A series of novel 2-thiazolyl substituted-2,3-dihydro-1H-naphtho [1,2-e][1,3]oxazine derivatives were designed and synthesized based on their structure-activity relationships (SARs) from 2-naphthol, substituted thiazolyl amines and formalin through ring closure by one-pot three component reaction. These derivatives were first evaluated for their inhibitory effect on HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (RT) enzyme activity.
