Intercepting bacterial indole signaling with flustramine derivatives.


ABSTRACT: 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 family of indolic natural products represent a privileged scaffold for the design of molecules to control pathogenic bacterial behavior.
