摘要
Small molecules based upon a 2-acylguanidine-5-phenyl thiophene scaffold that can activate the light chain metalloprotease of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT LC/A) by an apparent reduction in Km are reported. On the basis of structure-activity relationships and the activation profile, one or more molecules of activator specifically bind to a defined site on the toxin, causing the observed rate enhancement. With the ever-growing clinical uses of BoNT, compounds such as those reported here may provide a method for combating the emerging adaptive immune responses to BoNT.
