Abstract: Endocytosis is the process of cells take up extracellular materials and recycles their membrane. This
process happens in almost all living eukaryotic cells by several mechanisms that can be divided into two  types,  namely:  phagocytosis,  and  pinocytosis.  Endocytosis  plays  significant  roles  in  many
pathological  conditions.  There  are  over  100  known  diseases  involving  endocytosis  and  intracellular trafficking. A number of endocytosis researches has been conducted, and generated some compounds
with  great  inhibitor  value. The inhibitors  namely:  dynasore,  bis-T,  MiTMAB,  Indole  analogues, and phthalamide  analogues.  This  paper  will  discuss  the  structure-activity  relationship  profiles  of  these
inhibitors. Keywords: Endocytosis, structure-actity relationship, inhibitors, dynamin
1. Introduction
Endocytosis  is  the  process  whereby  cells  take  up  extracellular  material  and  recycle  their membranes  Cousin
et  al
,  2001.  It  happens  in  almost  all  living  eukaryotic  cells  by  several mechanisms that can be divided into two types, namely, phagocytosis, which occurs only in
specialised  mammalian  cells  and  pinocytosis,  which  occurs  in  all  cells  is  regulated  by intracellular and  extracellular  signals  Liu
et  al
, 1995;  Conner
et  all
,  2003. Phagocytosis  is the process that occurs when cells uptake the large particles, while pinoctytosis is the process
of taking up fluid and solutes. Furthermore, pinocytosis can be divided into two mechanisms, clathrin mediated endocytosis CME and clathrin-independent endocytosis Liu
et al
, 1995. One of enzymes that involves in endocytosis process is dynamin Mousavi
et al
, 2004.
2. Endocytosis, Dynamin and Diseases
Endocytosis plays significant roles in many of human pathological conditions. There are over 100  known  diseases  involving  endocytosis  and  intracellular  trafficking  Aridor    Hannan,
2002;  Aridor    Hannan,  2000..  Control  of  endocytosis  through  the  inhibition  of  dynamin could  be  useful  in  the  treatment  of  cancer;  viral,  bacterial  and  other  pathogenic  infections;
immunodeficiency,  gastrointestinal,  neurodegenerative,  neurological  and  kidney  diseases. Several studies revealed some diseases that are connected to dynamin, such as Charcot-Marie-
Tooth  CMT  disease  Zuchner
et  al
,  2005,  Centronulear  myopathy  CNM  Bitoun
et  al
, 2005,  and Papillomaviruses,  HPV16  and  BPV1
– the etiologic agent of cervical and anal cancers and of tumors and disease in animals Abban
et al
, 2008 Several  neurodegenerative  diseases  are  associated  with  dynamin-dependent  endocytic
trafficking  pathways.  These  include  Alzheimer’s  disease,  Huntington’s  disease  HD,  stiff- person  syndrome,  Lewy  body  dementians,  and  Niemann-Pick  type  C  disease  Aridor
Hanna n, 2002. The presynaptic α-synuclein protein is believed to be involved in Lewy body
diseases,  including  Parkinson’s  disease,  Lewy  body  dementia  and  a  Lewy  body  variant  of

Alzheimer’s disease Sung
et  al
,  2001.  Furthermore,  these  pathologies  were  found  to  be  a direct consequence of α-synuclein endocytosis suggesting that endocytosis inhibitors may be
useful in the treatment of  α-synuclein related disorders.
