Cutibacterium acnes is an opportunistic pathogen in acne vulgaris. C. acnes produces autoinducer-2 (AI-2）, a signaling molecule used for communication known as quorum sensing (QS）. In C. acnes, QS reportedly upregulates biofilm formation leading to resistance against bactericidal agents. In this study, we analyzed how heparinoid affected QS and biofilm formation of the opportunistic pathogen C. acnes. We also verified whether heparinoid would suppress biofilm formation and enhance the efficacy of the bactericidal agent 4-isopropyl-3-methylphenol (IPMP) against C. acnes biofilms. We ran an AI-2 bioassay using Vibrio harveyi ATCC BBA-1121. Heparinoid exhibited inhibitory activity against AI-2 at concentrations of 0.003-0.005%, suggesting an AI-2 analog-derived or C. acnes culture supernatant-derived inhibition of the AI-2 activity. To evaluate how heparinoid suppresses biofilm formation in C. acnes, we completed a biofilm assay in 96-well plates. We also evaluated the bactericidal activity of IPMP against the C. acnes biofilm prepared with or without heparinoid. Heparinoid inhibited C. acnes biofilm formation and IPMP bactericidal efficacy increased upon heparinoid-mediated suppression of biofilm formation. In this study, we clarified that heparinoid inhibits the AI-2-mediated QS of C. acnes, thereby suppressing biofilm formation and increasing IPMP bactericidal efficacy, potentially suppressing acne vulgaris.
