In this manuscript we applied an innovative nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) guided screening and ligand design approach, named focused high throughput screening by NMR (fHTS by NMR) to derive potent, low molecular weight ligands capable of mimicking the interactions elicited by the ephrin ligands on the receptor tyrosine kinase EphA4. The agents bind with nanomolar affinity, trigger receptor activation in cellular assays with motor neurons, and provide remarkable motor neuron protection from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patient derived astrocytes. Structural studies on the complex between EphA4 ligand binding domain and a most active agent provide insights on the mechanism of the agents at a molecular lever. Together with preliminary in vivo pharmacology studies, the data form a strong foundation for the translation of these agents for the treatment of ALS and potentially other human diseases.
