Chirality Holds the Key for Potent Inhibition of the Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype A Protease
摘要:
Botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) is the most toxic protein known to man and also a bioterrorism agent. As defined by our previous research targeting the etiological agent responsible for BoNT/A intoxication, a protease, we now report on the asymmetric synthesis of four new BoNT/A inhibitors; the most potent of this series is roughly 2-fold more active than the best small molecule inhibitor currently known.
