Autotaxin (ATX) is an autocrine motility factor that promotes cancer cell invasion, cell migration, and angiogenesis. ATX, originally discovered as a nucleotide phosphodiesterase, is known now to be responsible for the lysophospholipid-preferring phospholipase D activity in plasma. As such, it catalyzes the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) from lysophophatidylcholine (LPC). ATX is thus an attractive drug target; small molecular inhibitors might be efficacious in slowing the spread of cancers. With this study we have generated a series of P-keto and P-hydroxy phosphonate derivatives of LPA, some of which are potent ATX inhibitors. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
