Abstract

Fimbrolides from marine algae have shown promising activity against quorum sensing (QS), a chief regulatory and communication system in bacteria controlling biofilm formation and virulence factor. Nitric oxide (NO) at sublethal concentration has also been reported to induce dispersal of bacterial biofilms and increase their susceptibility toward standard biocides and antibiotics. Therefore, the combination of QS inhibitors and NO donors has the potential to control the development of biofilm and promote their dispersion via a nonbactericidal mechanism. Inspired by these ideas, novel fimbrolide-NO donor hybrid compounds were designed and synthesized. Fimbrolide-NO hybrids 6b, 6f, and 14a were found to be particularly effective as antimicrobials compared to the nonhybrid natural fimbrolides as revealed by bioluminescent P. aeruginosa QS reporter assays and biofilm inhibition assays. Significantly, these fimbrolide-NO hybrids represent the first dual-action antimicrobial agent based on the baterial QS inhibition and NO signaling.
