- Description
- We examined a number of ligands with the view of inhibiting the GTPase activity of dynamin. Dynamin contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that interacts with lipids. We report a series of simple lipid-like molecules that display moderate inhibitory activity. Inhibitory activity is linked to chain length and quaternarization of the terminal amine. A change in the counterion, Cl versus Br or I, had little effect on potency. However, introduction of a hydrophobic collar proximal to the charged site was beneficial to dynamin GTPase inhibitory action. The most potent compound was myristoyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (MTMAB, IC₅₀ 3.15 μM). Dynamin 1 GTPase contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that interacts with lipids. We report a series of simple lipid-like molecules that display moderate inhibitory activity. Inhibitory activity is linked to chain length and quaternarization of the terminal amine. A change in the counterion, Cl versus Br or I, had little effect on potency. However, introduction of a hydrophobic collar proximal to the charged site was beneficial to dynamin GTPase inhibitory action.
