The invention provides compounds that can efficiently and specifically inhibit bacterial toxins, such as inhibit the lethal factor (LF) protease activity of anthrax toxin and/or botulinum neurotoxin type A. The invention also provides methods for inhibiting proteases, such as lethal factor protease, as well as methods for treating bacterial infections, such as anthrax and botulinum.

Six focused rhodanine-based libraries, 60 compounds in total, were synthesized and evaluated as potential dynamin I GTPase inhibitors. Twenty-six were more potent than the lead compound with 13 returning IC50 values <10 mu M, making the Rhodadyn series among the most active dynamin inhibitors reported. Two analogues were highly effective at blocking receptor-mediated endocytosis: C10 and D10 with IC50(RmE) = 7.0 +/- 2.2 and 5.9 +/- 1.0 mu M, respectively. These compounds are equipotent with the best reported in-cell dynamin inhibitors.
