Engineering and immobilization of imine reductase enable chemoenzymatic synthesis of SLC6A19 inhibitor JNT-517. (PubMed, Bioresour Technol) - "This biocatalytic system was successfully integrated into the chemoenzymatic synthesis of SLC6A19 inhibitor JNT-517, where the enzymatically produced (R)-N-cyclopropylpiperidin-3-amine was efficiently converted to JNT-517 in three chemical steps, demonstrating promising potential for industrial-scale applications. Protein engineering and enzyme immobilization technology endow IRED with superior catalytic performance, stability, and reusability, thereby enabling sustainable bioprocessing for industrial applications."

SLC6A19 inhibition facilitates urinary neutral amino acid excretion and lowers plasma phenylalanine. (PubMed, JCI Insight) - P1 | "Secondary objectives included pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies.RESULTSInhibition of SLC6A19 increased the urinary excretion of Phe in a mouse model of PKU, thereby reducing plasma Phe levels. JNT-517, an investigational oral SLC6A19 inhibitor, was found to be safe and well tolerated and increased the urinary excretion of Phe in a phase 1 healthy volunteer study.CONCLUSIONSThese data indicate that pharmacological inhibition of SLC6A19 presents a promising approach to lower toxic elevated levels of amino acids found in PKU and related amino acid metabolism disorders by facilitating their renal elimination.TRIAL REGISTRATIONAustralian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR), ACTRN12622001222730.FUNDINGThe studies in this paper were funded by Jnana Therapeutics."
