Abstract

Three novel series were generated in order to mimic the pharmacophoric features displayed by lead compound AM095, a Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA1) receptor antagonist. Biological evaluation of this array of putative LPA1 antagonists led us to the discovery of three novel series of inhibitors of the ecto-enzyme Autotaxin (ATX), responsible for LPA production in blood, with potencies in the range 1 – 4 μM accompanied with good (> 100 μg/mL) solubility.
