Given the putative role of PHGDH in cancer, development of inhibitors is required to explore its function. In this context, we established and validated a straightforward enzymatic assay suitable for high-throughput screening and we identified inhibitors with similar chemical scaffolds. Through a convergent pharmacophore approach, we synthesized α-ketothioamides that exhibit interesting in vitro PHGDH inhibition and encouraging cellular results. These novel probes may be used to understand the emerging biology of this metabolic target.
