useful in the treatment of  α-synuclein related disorders.
3. Structur-Activity Relationship SAR of Dynamin  Endocytosis Inhibitors
Despite the possibility  of numerous  therapeutic applications, there are currently no dynamin inhibitors  in  clinical  use.  However,  a  number  of  dynamin  inhibitors  have  been  identified,
these  include  dynasore,  which  is  claimed  to  have  a  role  in  endocytosis  and  act  as  dynamin inhibitor  and  Bis-T,  myristyl  trimethyl  ammonium  bromide  MiTMAB  series,  the  indole
analogues, and the phthalimide series.

2006., screened about 16,000 small molecules and found dynasore Compound
1,  Figure  1  which  is  interferes  with  dynamin  I,  dynamin  II  and  Drp1
in  vitro
.  From  this study, it was shown that dynasore is a non-competitive cell permeable inhibitor of the GTPase
activity  of  dynamin  1  and  2  Macia
et  al
,  2006;  Nankoe
et  al
, 2016. Dynamin’s ability to oligomerize or bind lipids was not affected by dynasore. This means the inhibitory effects of
dynasore mediated through GTPase domain Thompson
et al
, 2006.
3.2. Bis-T
The  Bis-T  series  contain  some  of  the  most  potent  inhibitors  currently  identified  Hill
et  al
, 2005; Hill
et al
, 2004. As illustrated in Table 1, trihydroxy subsititued aromatics affected the
activity whilst changes in length afforded equipotent analogues i.e compounds 3, 6, 9, and 12 with IC
50
of 1.7 ± 0.2, 1.7 ± 0.2, 2.1 ± 0.2, 1.7 ± 0.4 µM. Introduction of  metoxy substituent
in C2 slightly reduced the activity compounds 4, 7, 10, and 13 with IC
50
of 9.0 ± 3.0, 5.0 ± 1.0, 8.0 ± 0.2, 8.0 ± 0.2 µM.

=  1.7 ± 0.2 µM which also known as BisT  is  the most potent  and promising dynamin  I GTPase inhibitor in  this  series. These analogues have been
shown to prevent dynamin self-assembly from a ring to a helix and also to block SVE in nerve terminals synaptosomes, cultured neurons, and chromaffin cells.
