Soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) has
gained attention as a potential
therapeutic target given the role of this enzyme in intracellular
signaling. We describe successful efforts to design improved sAC inhibitors
amenable for in vivo interrogation of sAC inhibition
to assess its potential therapeutic applications. This work culminated
in the identification of TDI-10229 (12), which displays
nanomolar inhibition of sAC in both biochemical and cellular assays
and exhibits mouse pharmacokinetic properties sufficient to warrant
its use as an in vivo tool compound.
