Abstract

An iterative parallel synthesis effort identified a PLD2 selective inhibitor, ML298 (PLD1 IC50 > 20000 nM, PLD2 IC50 = 355 nM) and a dual PLD1/2 inhibitor, ML299 (PLD1 IC50 = 6 nM, PLD2 IC50 = 20 nM). SAR studies revealed that a small structural change (incorporation of a methyl group) increased PLD1 activity within this classically PLD2-preferring core and that the effect was enantiospecific. Both probes decreased invasive migration in U87-MG glioblastoma cells.
