Investigation into the biological function of 5-benzylidene-4-oxazolidinones revealed dose-dependent inhibition of biofilm formation in Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). This structurally unusual class of small molecules inhibit up to 89% of biofilm formation with IC values as low as 0.78 μM, and disperse pre-formed biofilms with IC values as low as 4.7 μM. Together, these results suggest that 4-oxazolidinones represent new chemotypes to enable the study of bacterial biofilms with small molecule chemical probes.
对5-亚苄基-4-恶唑烷酮的生物学功能研究表明,其对耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)生物膜形成具有剂量依赖性抑制作用。这类结构独特的小分子对生物膜形成的抑制率高达89%,IC值低至0.78 μM,对已形成的生物膜的分散作用IC值低至4.7 μM。这些结果共同表明,4-恶唑烷酮代表了新的化学类型,可用小分子化学探针来研究细菌生物膜。
