Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of second-generation hydroxamate botulinum neurotoxin A protease inhibitors.
Botulinum neurotoxins are the most toxic proteins currently known. Based on a recently identified potent lead structure, 2,4-dichlorocinnamic acid hydroxamate, herein we report on the structure-activity relationship of a series of hydroxamate BoNT/A inhibitors. Among them, 2-bromo-4-chlorocinnamic acid hydroxamate, 2-methyl-4-chlorocinnamic acid hydroxamate, and 2-trifluoromethyl-4-chlorocinnamic acid hydroxamate displayed comparable inhibitory activity to that of the lead structure.
