(. ) is an opportunistic gram-negative pathogen that can cause various infections, particularly in patients with compromised host defenses. . forms biofilms and produces virulence factors through quorum sensing (QS) network, resulting in resistance to antibiotics. RhlI/RhlR, one of key QS systems in . , is considered an attractive target for inhibiting biofilm formation and attenuating virulence factors. Several recent studies examined small molecules targeting the RhlI/RhlR system and their in vitro and in vivo biological activities. In this review, RhlR-targeted modulators, including agonists and antagonists, are discussed with particular focus on structure-activity relationship studies and outlook for next-generation anti-biofilm agents.
(某菌)是一种机会性革兰氏阴性病原体,可引起各种感染,尤其是在宿主防御功能受损的患者中。(某菌)形成生物膜并通过群体感应(QS)网络产生毒力因子,从而导致对抗生素产生耐药性。RhlI/RhlR是(某菌)关键的QS系统之一,被认为是抑制生物膜形成和减弱毒力因子的一个有吸引力的靶点。最近的几项研究检测了靶向RhlI/RhlR系统的小分子及其体外和体内生物学活性。在这篇综述中,将讨论靶向RhlR的调节剂,包括激动剂和拮抗剂,特别关注构效关系研究以及下一代抗生物膜药物的前景。
