Abstract
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) are among the most toxic known substances and currently there are no effective treatments for intraneuronal BoNT intoxication. Chicoric acid (ChA) was previously reported as a BoNT/A inhibitor that binds to the enzyme's α-exosite. Herein, we report the synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of a series of ChA derivatives, which revealed essential binding interactions between ChA and BoNT/A. Moreover, several ChA-based inhibitors with improved potency against the BoNT/A were discovered.Entities:
