In this study, we present the synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of novel N-substituted nipecotic acid derivatives closely related to (S)-SNAP-5114 (2) in the pursuit of finding new and potent mGAT4 selective inhibitors. By the use of iminium ion chemistry, a series of new N-substituted nipecotic acid derivatives containing a variety of heterocycles, and an alkyne spacer were synthesized. Biological evaluation of the prepared compounds showed, how the inhibitory potency and subtype selectivity for the murine GABA transporters (mGATs) were influenced by the performed modifications.

Unlabelled: In our continuous effort to develop novel antiepileptic drug, a new series of nipecotic acid derivatives having1,3,4-thiadiazole nucleus were designed and synthesized. This study aims to improve the lipophilicity of nipecotic acid by attaching some lipophilic anchors like thiadiazole and substituted aryl acid derivatives. In our previous study, we noticed that the N-substituted oxadiazole derivative of nipecotic acid exhibited significant antiepileptic activity in the rodent model.

Potential mGAT4 inhibitors derived from the lead substance (S)-SNAP-5114 have been synthesized and characterized for their inhibitory potency. Variations from the parent compound included the substitution of one of its aromatic 4-methoxy and 4-methoxyphenyl groups, respectively, with a more polar moiety, including a carboxylic acid, alcohol, nitrile, carboxamide, sulfonamide, aldehyde or ketone function, or amino acid partial structures. Furthermore, it was investigated how the substitution of more than one of the aromatic 4-methoxy groups affects the potency and selectivity of the resulting compounds.

To discover new, potent, and selective inhibitors for the murine gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter 4 (mGAT4), the structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of a new cis-alkene analog family based on DDPM-1457 [(S)-2], which previously showed promising inhibitory potency at and subtype selectivity for mGAT4, was conducted. To uncover the importance of the differences between the trans- and the cis-alkene moiety in the spacer, the present publication describes the synthesis of the new compounds via catalytic hydrogenation with Lindlar's catalyst. The biological results collected by the SAR study revealed that analog rac-7j characterized by a four-instead of a three-carbon atom spacer with a cis double bond applying to the majority of the studied compounds displays a surprisingly high potency at mGAT1 (pIC = 6.

Our study presents the synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of novel N-substituted nipecotic acid derivatives closely related to DDPM-1457 [(S)-2a], a chemically stable analog of (S)-SNAP-5114 (1), in the pursuit of finding new and potent mGAT4 selective inhibitors. Iminium ion chemistry served as key step for the preparation of the desired, new N-substituted nipecotic acid derivatives containing a variety of different heterocycles attached to the nipecotic acid moiety via a trans-alkene spacer. The target compounds were characterized with regard to their potency at and subtype selectivity for the GABA transporters mGAT1-mGAT4.
