8-(methylsulfonylamino)quinoline (8-MSQ) was identified as a hit. Through computational modeling and synthetic elaboration, a potent GLO1 inhibitor was developed with a novel sulfonamide core pharmacophore. A lead compound was demonstrated to penetrate the blood-brainbarrier, elevate levels of methylglyoxal in the brain, and reduce depression-like behavior in mice. These findings provide the basis
