Lethal toxin inhibitor DN1

Lethal toxin inhibitor DN1 is a small molecule that reduces the cytotoxicity of anthrax lethal toxin (LT) an inhibitor of LT-induced pyroptosis, acts as an antagonist of GPCR receptors type-1 angiotensin II receptor (AGTR1) and apelin receptor (APLNR) with IC50 of 1.958 and 2.280 uM, respectively; protected cells irrespectively of LT concentration and reduced the pathogenicity of an additional bacterial exotoxin and several viruses, does not prevent LT internalization and catalytic activity or caspase-1 activation, also reduced the susceptibility of Drosophila melanogaster to toxin-associated bacterial infections.
