Glutaminase converts glutamine into glutamic acid and has two isoforms: glutaminase 1 (GLS1) and glutaminase 2 (GLS2). GLS1 is overexpressed in several tumors, and research to develop glutaminase inhibitors as antitumor drugs is currently underway. The present study examined candidate GLS1 inhibitors usingin silicoscreening and attempted to synthesize novel GLS1 inhibitors and assess their GLS1 inhibitory activities in a mouse kidney extract and against recombinant mouse and human GLS1. Novel compounds were synthesized using compoundCas the lead compound, and their GLS1 inhibitory activities were evaluated using the mouse kidney extract. Among the derivatives tested, thetrans-4-hydroxycyclohexylamide derivative2jexhibited the strongest inhibitory activity. We also assessed the GLS1 inhibitory activities of the derivatives2j,5i, and8aagainst recombinant mouse and human GLS1. The derivatives5iand8asignificantly decreased the production of glutamic acid at 10 mM. In conclusion, we herein identified two compounds that exhibited GLS1 inhibitory activities with equal potencies as known GLS1 inhibitors. These results will contribute to the development of effective novel GLS1 inhibitors with more potent inhibitory activity.
