1-[[(1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)amino]methyl]-2-naphthalenol, also known as **1-methyl-2-(2-hydroxynaphthylmethylamino)benzimidazole**, is a small organic molecule that has shown promise as a **selective inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β)**.

**GSK-3β** is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including:

* **Regulation of cell growth and proliferation:** GSK-3β is involved in the Wnt signaling pathway, which is essential for embryonic development and tissue homeostasis.
* **Glucose metabolism:** GSK-3β inhibits glycogen synthesis by phosphorylating glycogen synthase.
* **Neuroprotection:** GSK-3β is implicated in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
* **Inflammation:** GSK-3β contributes to inflammatory processes.

**Importance in Research:**

The selectivity of 1-methyl-2-(2-hydroxynaphthylmethylamino)benzimidazole for GSK-3β makes it a valuable research tool for understanding the role of this kinase in various biological processes. It has the potential to be used for:

* **Studying GSK-3β signaling pathways:** Researchers can use this inhibitor to investigate the effects of blocking GSK-3β activity on cellular processes and disease models.
* **Developing new therapies:** The potential of 1-methyl-2-(2-hydroxynaphthylmethylamino)benzimidazole to inhibit GSK-3β suggests its potential as a therapeutic agent for diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and inflammatory disorders.

**Note:** 1-methyl-2-(2-hydroxynaphthylmethylamino)benzimidazole is still in the early stages of research. Further studies are necessary to determine its safety and efficacy in humans.
