The antidepressant drug sertraline is a novel inhibitor of yeast Pah1 and human lipin 1 phosphatidic acid phosphatases by Geordan J. Stukey, Matthew R. Breuer, Natalie Burchat, Ruta Jog, Kollin Schultz, Gil-Soo Han, Matthew S. Sachs, Harini Sampath, Ronen Marmorstein, George M. Carman

“…The inhibitor constants of sertraline for the S. cerevisiae and human PAP enzymes were 7-fold and ∼2-fold, respectively, lower than those of propranolol, a commonly used PAP inhibitor. Consistent with the inhibitory mechanism of sertraline and propranolol, molecular docking of the inhibitors predicts that they interact with non-catalytic residues in the haloacid dehalogenase-like catalytic domain of Pah1. …”
