Glucose transporters (GLUTs) regulate glucose uptake and are often overexpressed in several human tumors. To identify new chemotypes targeting GLUT1, we built a pharmacophore model and searched against a NCI compound database. Sixteen hit molecules with good docking scores were screened for GLUT1 inhibition and antiproliferative activities. From these, we identified that compounds 2, 5, 6 and 13 inhibited the cell viability in a dose-dependent manner and that the IC50s of 2 and 6 are |
