Finally, 100 mL of a solution containing 0.03% H2O2 and 2 mg/mL o-phenylenediamine in 0.1 mM citrate buffer, pH 5.5, was added and samples were incubated at room temperature until color emerged. The reaction was terminated by the addition of 50 mL of 2 M H2SO4, and the plate was read using a multi well spectrophotometer (VERSA max, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) at 490 nm. The inhibition rate (%) was calculated using the following equation: [1(A490/A490 control)] 100%. 4.3. Molecular modeling The GSK-3b proteineligand complex crystal structure (PDB ID: 1PYX) was chosen as the template for docking analysis, which was proceeded using GOLD 5.0 software. For ligand preparation, the structure of compound 6v was generated and minimized using Sybyl 6.9 with the MMFF94 force field until a 0.01 kcal/mol gradient was reached. For enzyme preparation, the hydrogen atoms were added, and all of ligands, metal, water, and cocrystallized phosphates were removed. The binding site was defined as a sphere of 10 A radius around the residue Arg 209. Docking calculations were performed with other parameters set in their default values. Top five scored docking complex were extracted for conformational cluster analysis in order to find the docking results with the highest probability.
