Tideglusib, also known as NP031112 or NP-12, is a potent non ATP-competitive inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3), an important kinase studied in stem cell research and neurodegenerative diseases. It is currently in clinical trials for Alzheimer′s disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Tideglusib reduces phosphorylation of the tau protein and the accumulation of amyloid plaques, reduces hippocampal and entorhinal cortex neuron loss and improves spatial memory deficits. It has also shown neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory activity in a variety of animal models.
