| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a key enzyme in glycolysis responsible for the conversion of pyruvate into lactate and vice versa. Lactate plays a crucial role in tumor progression and metastasis; therefore, reducing lactate production by inhibiting LDH is considered an optimal strategy to tackle cancer. Additionally, dysregulation of LDH activity is correlated with other pathologies, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases as well as primary hyperoxaluria, fibrosis and cryptosporidiosis. Hence, LDH inhibitors could serve as potential therapeutics for treating these pathological conditions. Areas Covered: This review covers patents published since 2014 up to the present in the Espacenet database, concerning LDH inhibitors and their potential therapeutic applications. Expert Opinion: Over the past 10 years, different compounds have been identified as LDH inhibitors. Some of them are derived from the chemical optimization of already known LDH inhibitors (e.g. pyrazolyl derivatives, quinoline 3-sulfonamides), while others belong to newly identified chemical classes of LDH inhibitors. LDH inhibition has proven to be a promising therapeutic strategy not only for preventing human pathologies, but also for treating animal diseases. The published patents from both academia and the pharmaceutical industry highlight the persistent high interest of the scientific community in developing efficient LDH inhibitors. |
