Intercepting Bacterial Indole Signaling with Flustramine Derivatives
17 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Indole signaling is one of the putative universal signaling networks in bacteria. We have investigated the use of desformylflustrabromine (dFBr) derivatives for the inhibition of biofilm formation through modulation of the indole-signaling network in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus . We have found dFBr derivatives that are 10-1000 times more active than indole itself, demonstrating that the flustramine...
