May also function as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids. Publication Abstract from PubMed The hybridisation of hits, identified by complementary fragment and high throughput screens, enabled the discovery of the first series of potent inhibitors of mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (BCATm), based on a 2-benzylamino-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidinone-3-carbonitrile template. Structure-guided growth enabled rapid optimisation of activity with maintenance of ligand efficiency, whilst the focus on physical properties delivered compounds with excellent pharmacokinetic exposure that enabled an acute proof of concept experiment in mice. Oral administration of 2-((4-chloro-2,6-difluorobenzyl)amino)-7-oxo-5-propyl-4,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]p yrimidine-3-carbonitrile 61 significantly raised the circulating levels of the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine in this acute study.
