KT195 is an α/β-hydrolase domain-containing protein 6 (ABHD6) inhibitor.

AMPA receptors are major postsynaptic receptors mediating fast excitatory neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. The proper functioning of AMPA receptors is critical for brain function, and AMPA receptor dysfunction can result in multiple neurologic disorders. AMPA receptors are macromolecular complexes associated with various auxiliary proteins, including α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 6 (ABHD6).

In vitro: KT195 acted as a potent and selective inhibitor of ABHD6 with negligible activity against DAGLβ. KT195 also had a comparable selectivity profile to its analogs of KT109 and KT172 against other serine hydrolases. KT195 also showed negligible activity against DAGLβ while completely inactivating ABHD6. KT195 blocked ABHD6 activity with no activity against other serine hydrolases [1].

In vivo: Mice were treated with KT195, KT172 and KT109 at various doses for 4 h, sacrificed, and thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages were collected and analyzed. Results showed that both KT172 and KT109 could completely inactivate DAGLβ at doses as low as 0.5 mg/kg. Whereas, KT195 showed no activity against DAGLβ at any tested dose. Moreover, time-course studies revealed that both KT109 and KT172 produced complete inhibition of macrophage DAGLβ, and this inhibition was maintained for 6 h, but however, KT195 showed no evidence of DAGLβ inhibition [1].

Clinical trial: Up to now, KT195 is still in the preclinical development stage.
