Provided are compositions and methods for modulating quorum sensing in microbes. The compounds are AI-2 analogs and as such have structures similar to 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione that can act as agonists/antagonists of quorum sensing. The compounds are useful for modulating quorum sensing in bacteria and can be used in methods for prophylaxis or therapy of bacterial infections and for reduction of biofilms.
提供了一种调节微生物群体感应的组合物和方法。这些化合物是AI-2类似物,因此具有类似于4,5-二羟基-2,3-戊二酮的结构,可以作为微生物群体感应的激动剂/拮抗剂。这些化合物对调节细菌的群体感应很有用,并可用于预防或治疗细菌感染以及减少生物膜的方法中。
