(rel)-ML-SI3 is an isomer of ML-SI3 . ML-SI3 is a TRPML channel inhibitor. ML-SI3 blocks TRPML1 and TRPML2 with IC50s of 4.7 μM and 1.7 μM, respectively. ML-SI3 prevents lysosomal calcium efflux and blocks downstream TRPML1-mediated autophagy.

Biological Activity

Targets	IC50: 4.7 μM (TRPML1), 1.7 μM (TRPML2)[1]
ln Vitro	The members of the TRPML subfamily of non-selective cation channels (TRPML1-3) are involved in the regulation of important lysosomal and endosomal functions, and mutations in TRPML1 are associated with the neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder mucolipidosis type IV. For in-depth investigation of functions and (patho)physiological roles of TRPMLs, membrane-permeable chemical tools are urgently needed. But hitherto only two TRPML inhibitors, ML-SI1 and ML-SI3, have been published, albeit without clear information about stereochemical details. In this investigation we developed total syntheses of both inhibitors. ML-SI1 was only obtained as a racemic mixture of inseparable diastereomers and showed activator-dependent inhibitory activity. The more promising tool is ML-SI3, hence ML-SI1 was not further investigated. For ML-SI3 we confirmed by stereoselective synthesis that the trans-isomer is significantly more active than the cis-isomer. Separation of the enantiomers of trans-ML-SI3 further revealed that the (-)-isomer is a potent inhibitor of TRPML1 and TRPML2 (IC50 values 1.6 and 2.3 μM) and a weak inhibitor (IC50 12.5 μM) of TRPML3, whereas the (+)-enantiomer is an inhibitor on TRPML1 (IC50 5.9 μM), but an activator on TRPML 2 and 3. This renders the pure (-)-trans-ML-SI3 more suitable as a chemical tool for the investigation of TRPML1 and 2 than the racemate. The analysis of 12 analogues of ML-SI3 gave first insights into structure-activity relationships in this chemotype, and showed that a broad variety of modifications in both the N-arylpiperazine and the sulfonamide moiety is tolerated. An aromatic analogue of ML-SI3 showed an interesting alternative selectivity profile (strong inhibitor of TRPML1 and strong activator of TRPML2)[2].

Additional Infomation	The cation channel TRPML1 is an important regulator of lysosomal function and autophagy. Loss of TRPML1 is associated with neurodegeneration and lysosomal storage disease, while temporary inhibition of this ion channel has been proposed to be beneficial in cancer therapy. Currently available TRPML1 channel inhibitors are not TRPML isoform selective and block at least two of the three human isoforms. We have now identified the first highly potent and isoform-selective TRPML1 antagonist, the steroid 17β-estradiol methyl ether (EDME). Two analogs of EDME, PRU-10 and PRU-12, characterized by their reduced activity at the estrogen receptor, have been identified through systematic chemical modification of the lead structure. EDME and its analogs, besides being promising new small molecule tool compounds for the investigation of TRPML1, selectively affect key features of TRPML1 function: autophagy induction and transcription factor EB (TFEB) translocation. In addition, they act as inhibitors of triple-negative breast cancer cell migration and invasion.[1]
