The most potent dynamin inhibitor from this library is compound 20 with IC
50
= 3.33 ± 0.75 µM.  The removal of the C2 methyl group in this compound resulted an increase of 3-fold in
potency for dynamin I inhibition compound 21, Figure 4 with  IC
50
= 1.30 ± 0.30 µM.  This by far is the most potent dynamin inhibitors, two times more potent that Bis-T analogues and
fifteen times more potent than dynasore.
3.5. Phthalamide Analogues
From  the  virtual  library  screening  used  homology  representations  hDyn1-2  and  hDyn1-7 and the ICM flexible ligand-grid receptor algorithm, resulted in 520 hits Odel,
et  al
, 2010. Of  these,  175  were  obtained  from  the  vendors  for  biological  evaluation.  From  the  initial
biological assay, 7 compounds were found to be moderate IC
50
= 50 – 170 µM to good IC
50
50 µM inhibitors of dynamin 1 GTPase activity Table 2. One of the active compound is compound 22 Figure 5, the phthalimde derivative IC

Figure 5. Structure Phthalamide derivative 22
Compound  22  contains  a  2-biphenyl  group  and  a  4-chlorobenzoic  acid  moiety,  which connects  to  the  phthalimide  through  an  amide  bond.  The  biological  assay  for  compound  30
has shown it to be a moderate inhibitor of dynamin with IC
50
~ 170 µM, and from the binding mode  evaluation  it  appears  to  fit  well  withing  the  binding  site  showing  several  hydrogen
bonding, ionic and van der Waals interactions with the active site residues. This compound is not  commercially  available,  so  it  was  synthesized  via  two  straightforward  condensation
reactions utilizing available precursors.
Two  libraries  were  developed  from  this  compound,  namely  Library  A  and  Library  B. Synthesis  of  library  A  explores  the  1-amido-2-benzoic  acid  moiety,  while  the  synthesis  of
library B examines the effect of altering the biaryl moiety.
The compounds synthesized in libraries A and B, including compound 22, were submitted for biological evaluation. The results are presented in Table 2.
It can be seen that the analogues displayed weak i.e. 26; IC
50
= 266 ± 53 µM to moderate 36 and 38; IC
50
= 63 ± 32 µM and 66 ± 18 µM respectively inhibitor activity. These results show  by  altering  the  biaryl  moiety  can  increase  the  potency  of  the  compound  to  inhibit
dynamin’s GTPase activity.
