Abstract
Dyngo-4a™ has been found to be an endocytic inhibitor of BoNT/A neurotoxicity through dynamin inhibition. Herein, we demonstrate this molecule to have a previously unrecognized dual activity against BoNT/A, dynamin-protease inhibition. To establish the importance of this dual activity, detailed kinetic analysis of Dyngo-4a's inhibition of BoNT/A metalloprotease as well as cellular and animal toxicity studies have been described. The research presented is the first polypharmacological approach to counteract BoNT/A intoxication.
