Liu, Jun published the artcileNovel 2-Substituted 3-Hydroxy-1,6-dimethylpyridin-4(1H)-ones as Dual-Acting Biofilm Inhibitors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Application of 4-Methoxyphenylacetic acid, the main research area is hydroxy dimethylpyridinone synthesis drug design Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm inhibitor.
2-Heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone (PQS), a compound from P. aeruginosa, functions as both a quorum sensing (QS) regulator and a potent iron chelator to induce expression of pyoverdine and pyochelin which are involved in high-affinity iron transport systems. A potential dual-acting antibiofilm strategy requires mols. designed to interfere with iron uptake and the QS system of P. aeruginosa. A series of 2-substituted 3-hydroxy-1,6-dimethylpyridin-4-ones have been designed, synthesized, and tested as biofilm inhibitors of P. aeruginosa. One compound, N-((1,3,6-trimethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridin-2-yl)methyl)hexanamide, I, exhibits 68.67% biofilm inhibitory activity at 20μM. Further mechanistic studies have confirmed that this compound not only inhibits the QS systems of P. aeruginosa but also acts as an iron chelator to compete strongly with pyoverdine, causing iron deficiency in bacteria. The pyoverdine receptor FpvA was revealed as the target of I by the Pvds mutant strain, fpvA-overexpressed strain, and in silico studies.
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry published new progress about Antibiotic resistance (bacterial). 104-01-8 belongs to class isoquinoline, name is 4-Methoxyphenylacetic acid, and the molecular formula is C9H10O3, Application of 4-Methoxyphenylacetic acid.
