Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) are the most potent toxins known and a significant bioterrorist threat. Few small molecule compounds have been identified that are active in cell-based or animal models, potentially due to toxin enzyme plasticity. Here we screened commercially available quinolinols, as well as synthesized hydroxyquinolines. Seventy-two compounds had IC50 values below 10 μM, with the best compound exhibiting submicromolar inhibition (IC50 = 0.8 μM). Structure-activity relationship tre ...[more]
