IRAP is a member of the M1 family of zinc aminopeptidases and is abundantly expressed in areas of the brain associated with cognition, such as the amygdala, hippocampus and cerebral cortex. IRAP inhibitors were previously shown to enhance memory and learning in animal models. A comprehensive high throughput screening of 400,000 small molecules from the European Lead Factory library provided a series of 50 promising compounds in a qualified hit list (QHL). More than 30 IRAP inhibitors with an IC<sub>50</sub> below 3.5 μM were identified. Herein, selected compounds from this QHL were assayed for solubility and permeability. Most of the selected compounds displayed good solubility, but further permeability studies on the best compounds revealed low blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability and high efflux in cells overexpressing P-gp pumps, rendering them less promising as starting points in drug discovery processes. Two compounds from the QHL were prioritized for further structural optimization; the pyridyl-substituted isoxazole <strong>1a</strong> (<strong>QHL27</strong>) and the benzylhydroxamic acid derivative <strong>1b</strong> (<strong>QHL1</strong>), both demonstrating fair BBB permeability and no indication of efflux. While our attempts to improve the isoxazole derivative <strong>1a</strong> were not fruitful, a structural modification of <strong>1b</strong> to provide the chloro-substituted benzylhydroxamic acid <strong>14b</strong> resulted in a ten-fold improvement of the IRAP inhibition with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 60 nM. The binding modes of <strong>1b</strong> and <strong>14b</strong> were determined by free energy perturbation (FEP) analysis performed on candidate docking poses, determining a binding mode that accurately explained the experimental SAR.
