== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
In immunoglobulin light-chain (LC) amyloidosis, transient unfolding or unfolding and proteolysis enable aggregation of LC proteins, causing potentially fatal organ damage. A drug that kinetically stabilizes LCs could suppress aggregation; however, LC sequences are variable and have no natural ligands, hindering drug development efforts. We previously identified high-throughput screening hits that bind to a site at the interface between the two variable domains of the LC homodimer. We hypothesized that extending the stabilizers beyond this initially characterized binding site would improve affinity. Here, using protease sensitivity assays, we identified stabilizers that can be divided into four substructures. Some stabilizers exhibit nanomolar EC50 values, a 3000-fold enhancement over the screening hits. Crystal structures reveal a key pi-pi stacking interaction with a conserved tyrosine residue that was not utilized by the screening hits. These data provide a foundation for developing LC stabilizers with improved binding selectivity and enhanced physicochemical properties.
