Abstract: We describe a novel series of inhibitors of the type 1 glycine transporter (GlyT1) as an approach to relieving the glutamatergic deficit that is thought to underlie schizophrenia. Synthesis and SAR follow-up of a series of octahydro-cyclopenta[c]pyrrole derivatives afforded potent in vitro inhibition of GlyT1 as well as in vivo activity in elevating CSF glycine. We also found that a 3-O(c-pentyl), 4-F substituent may serve as a surrogate for the widely used 3-trifluoromethoxy group, suggesting its application as an isostere for future medicinal chemistry studies.
