Dynamin inhibitors

Dynamin inhibitors are compounds that target dynamin proteins, which play a crucial role in vesicle formation and membrane trafficking processes such as endocytosis. Dynamin proteins are involved in the scission of vesicles from the plasma membrane during endocytosis, clathrin-mediated vesicle formation, and other cellular processes. By inhibiting dynamin activity, these inhibitors disrupt vesicle formation and trafficking, thereby affecting cellular uptake of nutrients, signaling molecules, and receptor internalization. Dynamin inhibitors are studied for their potential therapeutic applications in diseases where aberrant endocytic processes contribute to pathology, such as cancer, infectious diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders.
