Inhibition of GSK_3β by Iridoid Glycosides of Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) Effective in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease Using Computational Drug Design Methods.

Summary

In this study, computational drug design was used to identify compounds that can inhibit the GSK-3β enzyme, which is implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The researchers found that loganin, a compound found in the common snowberry plant, was the most effective inhibitor. This was confirmed through both molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The results suggest that loganin and other iridoid glycosides could be promising candidates for Alzheimer's treatment, but further studies are needed.
