Focused library development of our lead 2-cyano-3-(1-(3-(dimethylamino)-propyl)-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-N-octylacrylamide (2) confirmed the tertiary dimethylamino-propyl moiety as critical for inhibition of dynamin GTPase. The cyanoamide moiety could be replaced with a thiazole-4(5H)-one isostere (19, IC50(dyn I) = 7.7 mu M), reduced under flow chemistry conditions (20, IC50(dyn I) = 5.2 mu M) or replaced by a simple amine. The latter provided a basis for a high yield library of compounds via a reductive amination by flow hydrogenation. Two compounds, 24 (IC50(dyn I) = 0.56 mu M) and 25 (IC50(dyn I) = 0.76 mu M), stood out. Indole 24 is nontoxic and showed increased potency against dynamin I and II in vitro and in cells (IC50(CME) = 1.9 mu M). It also showed 4.4-fold selectivity for dynamin I. The indole 24 compound has improved isoform selectivity and is the most active in-cell inhibitor of clathrin-mediated endocytosis reported to date.

99–100% lethality in H. contortus. Of the 22 acrylonitrile analogues investigated, the most active were 2-cyano-3-[1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl]-N-hexylacrylamide (13a), 2-cyano-3-[1(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl]-N-hexylacrylamide (13b), 2-cyano-3-4-[3-(dimethylamino)propoxy]phenyl}-N-octylacrylamide (21), and 2-cyano-3-1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-yl}-N-octylacrylamide
