Abstract

The structure-based design of sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) inhibitors identified new active compounds. The organotrifluoroborate shown was found to inhibit iodide uptake with an IC50 value of 0.4 μM on rat-derived thyroid cells. The biological activity is rationalized by the presence of the BF3− ion as a minimal binding motif for substrate recognition at the iodide binding site.
