title: Synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel 3-sulfonyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane class of long chain fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6) inhibitors.
abstract: Long chain fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6) catalyzes the elongation of long chain fatty acyl-CoAs and is a potential target for the treatment of metabolic disorders. The ultrahigh throughput screen of our corporate chemical collections resulted in the identification of a novel 3-sulfonyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane class of ELOVL6 inhibitor 1a. Optimization of lead 1a led to the identification of the potent, selective, and orally available ELOVL6 inhibitor 1w.
