Thiourea-based spacers in potent divalent inhibitors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence lectin LecA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new divalent highly potent inhibitor of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin and virulence factor LecA was prepared. It contains two thiourea linkages which were found to be in the Z,Z isomeric form. This brings the spacer into an elongated conformation required to bridge the two binding sites, which results in the chelating binding mode responsible for the high potency.

Potent divalent inhibitors with rigid glucose click spacers for Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin LecA.
The synthesis of a new rigid spacer based on carbohydrate-triazole repeating units and their incorporation into divalent systems is described. Inhibition studies showed that a well-matched system with a rigid spacer with flexible ends leads to the most potent inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin LecA.
متن کاملEfficient synthesis of phenylene-ethynylene rods and their use as rigid spacers in divalent inhibitors
The synthesis of phenylene-ethynylene rods and their use as rigid spacers is described. Alternation of a Sonogashira reaction and silyl group cleavage was used to obtain rigid spacers with even and odd numbers of phenylene units. Preliminary applications of these rods in divalent systems are shown. Inhibition studies with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa lectin LecA showed that the rigid spacer proved gr...
متن کاملAromatic thioglycoside inhibitors against the virulence factor LecA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Three small families of hydrolytically stable thioaryl glycosides were prepared as inhibitors of the LecA (PA-IL) virulence factor corresponding to the carbohydrate binding lectin from the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The monosaccharidic arylthio β-d-galactopyranosides served as a common template for the major series that was also substituted at the O-3 position. Arylthio disaccha...
متن کاملCovalent Lectin Inhibition and Application in Bacterial Biofilm Imaging
Biofilm formation by pathogenic bacteria is a hallmark of chronic infections. In many cases, lectins play key roles in establishing biofilms. The pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa often exhibiting various drug resistances employs its lectins LecA and LecB as virulence factors and biofilm building blocks. Therefore, inhibition of the function of these proteins is thought to have potential in devel...
متن کاملFunctionalization of a Rigid Divalent Ligand for LecA, a Bacterial Adhesion Lectin**
The bacterial adhesion lectin LecA is an attractive target for interference with the infectivity of its producer P. aeruginosa. Divalent ligands with two terminal galactoside moieties connected by an alternating glucose-triazole spacer were previously shown to be very potent inhibitors. In this study, we chose to prepare a series of derivatives with various new substituents in the spacer in hop...
