The racemic product of the Betti reaction of 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline,
benzaldehyde
and 2-aminopyridine was separated by chiral HPLC to determine which enantiomer inhibited
botulinum neurotoxin
serotype A. When the enantiomers unexpectedly proved to have comparable activity, the absolute structures of (+)-(R)-1 and (-)-(S)-1 were determined by comparison of calculated and observed circular dichroism spectra. Molecular modeling studies were undertaken in an effort to understand the observed bioactivity and revealed different ensembles of binding modes, with roughly equal binding energies, for the two enantiomers.
