l-Cystine kidney stones—aggregates of single crystals of the hexagonal form of l-cystine—afflict more than 20 000 individuals in the United States alone. Current therapies are often ineffective and produce adverse side effects. Recognizing that the growth of l-cystine crystals is a critical step in stone pathogenesis, real-time in situ atomic force microscopy of growth on the (0001) face of l-cystine crystals and measurements of crystal growth anisotropy were performed in the presence of prospective inhibitors drawn from a 31-member library. The most effective molecular imposters for crystal growth inhibition were l-cystine mimics (aka molecular imposters), particularly l-cystine diesters and diamides, for which a kinetic analysis revealed a common inhibition mechanism consistent with Cabrera–Vermilyea step pinning. The amount of inhibitor incorporated by l-cystine crystals, estimated from kinetic data, suggests that imposter binding to the {0001} face is less probable than binding of l-cystine solute molecules, whereas imposter binding to {101̅0} faces is comparable to that of l-cystine molecules. These estimates were corroborated by computational binding energies. Collectively, these findings identify the key structural factors responsible for molecular recognition between molecular imposters and l-cystine crystal kink sites, and the inhibition of crystal growth. The observations are consistent with the reduction of l-cystine stone burden in mouse models by the more effective inhibitors, thereby articulating a strategy for stone prevention based on molecular design. The factors responsible for molecular recognition by l-cystine crystal growth inhibitors and well-defined crystal sites are revealed using a library of prospective inhibitors. The observations are consistent with Cabrera−Vermilyea step pinning and the reduction of l-cystine stone burden in mouse models by the more effective inhibitors, articulating a strategy for stone prevention based on molecular design.
