摘要

In this study, we discovered and optimized a novel series of l-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1)-selective inhibitors. Starting from compound 1, efforts to explore the structure–activity relationship and optimize selectivity over l-type amino acid transporter 2 (LAT2) revealed the importance of the orientation of the terminal aromatic ring and led to the highly potent and LAT1-selective 2-phenoxy-substituted compound 19. Pharmacokinetic studies of 19 demonstrated that it is orally bioavailable (10 mg/kg, p.o., mouse, AUC:2354 ng·h/mL). Further optimization of the aromatic ring improved its metabolic stability and resulted in highly LAT1-selective and orally bioavailable (10 mg/kg, p.o., mouse, AUC:3449 ng·h/mL) compound 26. This series of compounds should be useful for research on LAT1 inhibitors.
