Abstract
Two novel series of chalcone-based homoserine lactones were synthesized and their quorum sensing (QS) inhibitory activity was evaluated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro. Furthermore these compounds’ capacity for modulation of the LasR-dependent quorum sensing system of P. aeruginosa was identified. Among these compounds, (S)-2-((4-(3-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl) acryloyl) phenyl) amino)-N-(2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)acetamide exerted the inhibition of LasR-dependent QS system of P. aeruginosa in contrast to brominated furanone C30. Worthy of particular note, this research has delivered novel potent quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs), which strongly inhibit the production of virulence factors in a wild type strain of this pathogenic bacterium.
