Abstract

Close
- Pilicides and curlicides block formation of the E. coli virulence factors pili and curli. To facilitate studies of the interaction between these compounds and the pili and curli assembly systems, fluorescent pilicides and curlicides have been synthesized. This was achieved using a strategy where key pilicide and curlicide substituents were replaced by fluorophores having similar physicochemical properties. The resulting fluorescent compounds had improved anti-virulence activities as measured in pili- and curli-dependent biofilm assays. We created fluorescent pilicides and curlicides by introducing both coumarin and 4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) fluorophores at two positions on the peptidomimetic pilicide and curlicide scaffold. Fluorescence images of the uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strain UTI89 grown in the presence of these compounds shows that the compounds are strongly associated to the bacteria and seem to discriminate between different bacteria in a population.
