Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections pose a huge threat to cystic fibrosis patients, as well as those suffering from immunodeficiency. Antimicrobial resistance, especially multi-drug resistance, due to its ability to aggregate the compact biofilm, makes it more inefficient to treat this pathogen with traditional antibiotics. Biofilm and quorum sensing (QS) have become the alternative targets for treating P. aeruginosa infections. Previously, a cyclic dipeptide cyclo(L-Trp-L-Ser) has been identified as a QS inhibitor of P. aeruginosa. On the other hand, some monosaccharides have been proved lectin-targeting behavior and to mediate biofilm formation and adhesion of P. aeruginosa. We constructed novel cyclic dipeptide-carbohydrate conjugates as a low molecular weight dual-functional QS inhibitor, which can not only enhance its anti-QS activity but also enable good anti-biofilm and anti-adhesion ability. The IC<sub>50</sub> of galactosylated c(WS) on biofilm formation and glass adhesion was 1/6 and 1/4 of that of the unmodified cyclic dipeptide, respectively. And the ability to eliminate the preformed biofilm was increased 10-fold. Furthermore, the carbohydrate conjugates can increase the germicidal efficiency of clinical antibiotic azithromycin when used synergistically. Our results provide a novel scaffold for developing anti-virulence adjuvants when taken with clinical antibiotics.
