KT182 is a potent inhibitor of α/β-hydrolase domain-containing protein 6 (ABHD6) with IC50 values of 1.7, 15.1, and 0.24 nM using Neuro2a membrane proteomes, recombinant ABHD6 in HEK293T cells, and Neuro2a cells in situ, respectively. Following administration of KT182 (1 mg/kg, i.p.) in mice, ABHD6 is inactivated in liver and brain extracts, suggesting that it is brain-penetrant, unlike the closely related compound KT203 .
