Product-like inhibitors of inositol monophosphatase

A series of product-like inhibitors of inositol monophosphatase have been prepared and tested for activity in vitro as possible leads for treatment of bipolar disorders. Compounds possessing a 6-alkyloxy side chain were inhibitors but less efficacious than those possessing a 6-aminoalkyl side chain. These new structures show promise as inhibitors possessing the bioavailability and characteristics necessary for drug development.
