Abstract
Disclosed are enantiomerically pure cyclopentane-based compounds that are prepared by a multiple-step synthesis process. The disclosed compounds have been designed to inhibit gamma-aminobutyric acid-amino transferase (GABA-AT) activity and ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) activity. Some of the enantiomerically pure compounds inhibit OAT activity more potently than the racemic compound. The disclosed compounds may be used to selectively inhibit OAT activity, for example, to treat hepatocellular carcinoma and/or used to selected inhibit GABA-AT activity, for example, to treat neurological diseases and disorders.
