Small molecule inhibitors of bacterial quorum sensing and biofilm formation.
Bacteria monitor their local population densities using small molecules (or autoinducers) in a process known as quorum sensing. Here, we report a new and efficient synthetic route to naturally occurring bacterial autoinducers [N-acyl l-homoserine lactones (AHLs)] that is readily amenable to the synthesis of analogues. This route has been applied in the first synthesis of a library of non-native...
متن کاملTargeting Staphylococcus aureus Quorum Sensing with Nonpeptidic Small Molecule Inhibitors
A series of 3-oxo-C12-HSL, tetramic acid, and tetronic acid analogues were synthesized to gain insights into the structural requirements for quorum sensing inhibition in Staphylococcus aureus. Compounds active against agr were noncompetitive inhibitors of the autoinducing peptide (AIP) activated AgrC receptor, by altering the activation efficacy of the cognate AIP-1. They appeared to act as neg...
متن کاملHigh Throughput Screening of Quorum Sensing Inhibitors Based Lead Molecules for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Associated Infections
Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of cell-cell communication in bacteria by the use of signalling molecules that bind to the receptor protein and directly or indirectly affect transcription and translation. QS proteins may be used as a drug target for the inhibition of signalling pathway to control bacterial cell population. In present study the QS protein LasR of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was used...
متن کاملHigh-throughput screening for the identification of small-molecule inhibitors of the flaviviral protease.
The mosquito-borne dengue virus serotypes 1-4 (DENV1-4) and West Nile virus (WNV) cause serious illnesses worldwide associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, there are about 390 million infections every year leading to ∼500,000 dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases and ∼25,000 deaths, mostly among children. Antiviral therap...
متن کاملA High Throughput Screening Assay System for the Identification of Small Molecule Inhibitors of gsp
Mis-sense mutations in the α-subunit of the G-protein, Gsα, cause fibrous dysplasia of bone/McCune-Albright syndrome. The biochemical outcome of these mutations is constitutively active Gsα and increased levels of cAMP. The aim of this study was to develop an assay system that would allow the identification of small molecule inhibitors specific for the mutant Gsα protein, the so-called gsp onco...
