The autotaxin–lysophophatidic acid (ATX–LPA) signaling pathway is implicated in a variety
of human disease states including angiogenesis, autoimmune diseases, cancer, fibrotic
diseases, inflammation, neurodegeneration, and neuropathic pain, among others. As a
result, ATX–LPA has become of significant interest within both the industrial and the
academic communities. This review aims to provide a concise overview of the development
of novel ATX inhibitors, including the disclosure of the first ATX clinical trial data.
