Herein, triphenylphosphonium cation moieties were incorporated into a dichloroacetophenone derivative, leading to the discovery of novel mitochondria-targeted and tumor-specific pyruvatedehydrogenasekinase 1 (PDK1) inhibitors. Biological studies suggested that all these synthesized compounds had significant in vitro activities, in particular compound 1f, which inhibited PDK1 with an EC50 value of
