resistance to antimicrobial drugs. Quorumsensing (QS) inhibition, which targets the QS signalling system by obstructing cell-cell communication, was developed as an alternative treatment by creating innovative anti-biofilm drugs. Therefore, the goal of this study is to develop novel antimicrobial drugs that are effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa by inhibiting QS and acting as anti-biofilm agents

A series of 23 N-(Pyridin-3-yl)benzamides was synthesized and evaluated for their potential to inhibit human steroid-11 beta-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) and human aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2). The most potent and selective CYP11B2 inhibitors (IC50 values 53-166 nM) were further evaluated for their potential to inhibit human CYP17 and CYP19, and no inhibition was observed. Clear evidence was shown for N-(Pyridin-3-yl) benzamides to be a highly selective class of CYP11B2 inhibitors in vitro. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

‐pyridinylbenzamides: an isosteric approach towards new antimycobacterial compounds
compounds showed broad‐spectrum antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis H37Ra, M. smegmatis and M. aurum. N‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)benzamides were generally more active than N‐(pyridin‐3‐yl)benzamides, indicating that N‐1 in the parental structure of N‐pyrazinylbenzamides might be more important for antimycobacterial activity than N‐4. Marginal antibacterial and antifungal activity was observed for title
