Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is involved in different diseases, such as manic-depressive illness, Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Studies have shown that insulin inhibits GSK-3 to keep glycogen synthase active. Inhibiting GSK-3 may have an indirect pro-insulin effect by favouring glycogen synthesis.

Neuroblastoma is one of the most frequent types of cancer found in infants, and traditional chemotherapy has limited efficacy against this pathology. Thus, the development of new compounds with higher activity and selectivity than traditional drugs is a current challenge in medicinal chemistry research. In this study, we report the synthesis of 21 chalcones with antiproliferative activity and selectivity against the neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y.

Cancer is the second death cause worldwide, with breast and colon cancer among the most prevalent types. Traditional treatment strategies have several side effects that inspire the development of novel anticancer agents derived from natural sources, like chalcone derivatives. For this investigation, twenty-three chalcones () were synthesized and evaluated as antiproliferative agents against MCF-7 and Caco-2 cells, finding three and two compounds with similar or higher antiproliferative activity than daunorubicin, while only two chalcones showed better selectivity indexes than daunorubicin on MCF-7.

The analysis of structure-activity relationships started probably more than hundred years ago but the concept of quantitatively correlating physicochemical properties of molecules with their biological activities, termed as quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), was initiated by Corwin Hansch and his groups in early 1960. Many new methods have emerged since then. The concept evolved from 2D QSAR to 3D QSAR and lately another dimension (4D QSAR) has been added.
