The present invention provides novel enterobactin-cargo conjugates, such as compounds of Formula (I), and salts thereof, where X is the cargo and may be an antibiotic, a fluorophore, or biotin. The present invention also provides complexes, compositions, kits, and methods that involve the compounds of Formula (I) and are useful in delivering a cargo to a bacterium, treating a bacterial infection, cystic fibrosis, and/or inflammatory bowel disease in a subject, preventing a bacterial infection, cystic fibrosis, and/or inflammatory bowel disease in a subject, inhibiting the growth of or killing a bacterium, or determining the concentration of a bacterium in a biological sample. In certain embodiments, the bacterium is a Gram-negative bacterium.
本发明提供了新型肠杆菌铁胞内载体共轭物,如式(I)化合物及其盐,其中X是载体,可以是抗生素、荧光素或生物素。本发明还提供了涉及式(I)化合物的络合物、组合物、试剂盒和方法,用于将载体传递给细菌,治疗受试者的细菌感染、囊性纤维化和/或炎症性肠病,预防受试者的细菌感染、囊性纤维化和/或炎症性肠病,抑制或杀死细菌的生长,或确定生物样品中细菌的浓度。在某些实施例中,细菌是革兰氏阴性细菌。
