Abstract
![]()
N-Acylphosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D
(NAPE-PLD) is regarded as the main enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis
of N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), a family of bioactive
lipid mediators. Previously, we reported N-(cyclopropylmethyl)-6-((S)-3-hydroxypyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-((S)-3-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)pyrimidine-4-carboxamide
(1, LEI-401) as the first potent and selective
NAPE-PLD inhibitor that decreased NAEs in the brains of freely moving
mice and modulated emotional behavior [MockNat Chem. Biol., 2020, 16, 667−67532393901]. Here, we describe the structure–activity
relationship (SAR) of a library of pyrimidine-4-carboxamides as inhibitors
of NAPE-PLD that led to the identification of LEI-401. A high-throughput screening hit was modified at three different
substituents to optimize its potency and lipophilicity. Conformational
restriction of an N-methylphenethylamine group by
replacement with an (S)-3-phenylpiperidine increased
the inhibitory potency 3-fold. Exchange of a morpholine substituent
for an (S)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine reduced the lipophilicity
and further increased activity by 10-fold, affording LEI-401 as a nanomolar potent inhibitor with drug-like properties. LEI-401 is a suitable pharmacological tool compound to investigate
NAPE-PLD function in vitro and in vivo.
