Novel bioactive lipids were identified from a Guamanian cyanobacterium, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing inhibitor pitinoic acid A (1) and the anti-inflammatory pitinoic acids B (2) and C. The structure of 2 was confirmed by synthesis, which also allowed for biological evaluation. Since 2 is an ester of pitinoic acids A and C, it represents a prodrug strategy to liberate dual biological activity for the management of P. aeruginosa infections and their associated inflammation.
