Inhibitors of DAAO were sought testing [6+5] type heterocycles and identified isatin derivatives as micromolar DAAO inhibitors. A pharmacophore and structure-activity relationship analysis of isatins and reported DAAO inhibitors led us to investigate 1H-indazol-3-ol derivatives and nanomolar inhibitors were identified. The series was further characterized by pKa and isothermal titration calorimetry measurements. Representative compounds exhibited beneficial properties in in vitro metabolic stability and PAMPA assays. 6-fluoro-1H-indazol-3-ol (37) significantly increased plasma d-serine level in an in vivo study on mice. These results show that the 1H-indazol-3-ol series represents a novel class of DAAO inhibitors with the potential to develop drug candidates.}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1464-3391}, pages = {1579-1587}, orcid-numbers = {Ferenczy, György/0000-0002-5771-4616; Szabó, Pál Tamás/0000-0003-2260-4641; Balogh, György Tibor/0000-0003-3347-1880; Vincze, István/0000-0002-6843-7159; Tábi, Tamás/0000-0001-5343-0205; Szökő, Éva/0000-0003-1464-6403} }
