==Overview==
An efficient research strategy integrating empirically guided, structure-based modeling and chemoinformatics was used to discover potent, small molecule inhibitors of the botulinum neurotoxin serotype A light, chain. First, a modeled binding mode for inhibitor, 2-mercapto-3-phenylpropionyl-RATKML (K(i) = 330 nM) was generated, and, required the use of a molecular dynamic conformer of the enzyme displaying, the reorientation of surface loops bordering the substrate binding cleft., These flexible loops are conformationally variable in x-ray crystal, structures, and the model predicted that they were pivotal for providing, complementary binding surfaces and solvent shielding for the, pseudo-peptide. The docked conformation of, 2-mercapto-3-phenylpropionyl-RATKML was then used to refine our, pharmacophore for botulinum serotype A light chain inhibition. Data base, search queries derived from the pharmacophore were employed to mine small, molecule (non-peptidic) inhibitors from the National Cancer Institute's, Open Repository. Four of the inhibitors possess K(i) values ranging from, 3.0 to 10.0 microM. Of these, NSC 240898 is a promising lead for, therapeutic development, as it readily enters neurons, exhibits no, neuronal toxicity, and elicits dose-dependent protection of, synaptosomal-associated protein (of 25 kDa) in a primary culture of, embryonic chicken neurons. Isothermal titration calorimetry showed that, the interaction between NSC 240898 and the botulinum A light chain is, largely entropy-driven, and occurs with a 1:1 stoichiometry and a, dissociation constant of 4.6 microM.
