We previously reported the discovery of small molecule kinetic stabilizers of the native dimeric structure of full-length LCs, which slow or stop the LC aggregation cascade at the outset. A predominant structural category of kinetic stabilizers emerging from the high-throughput screen are coumarins substituted at the 7-position, which bind at the interface between the two variable domains of the light chain dimer. Here, we report the binding mode of another, more polar, LC kinetic stabilizer chemotype, 3,5-substituted hydantoins. Computational docking, solution nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, and x-ray crystallography show that the aromatic substructure emerging from the hydantoin 3-position occupies the same LC binding site as the coumarin ring. Notably, the hydantoin ring extends beyond the binding site mapped out by the coumarin hits. The hydantoin ring makes hydrogen bonds with both LC monomers simultaneously. The alkyl substructure at the hydantoin 5-position partially occupies a novel binding pocket proximal to the pocket occupied by the coumarin substructure. Overall, the hydantoin structural data suggest that a larger area of the LC variable-domain-variable-domain dimer interface is amenable to small molecule binding than previously demonstrated, which should facilitate development of more potent full-length LC kinetic stabilizers.
