Organic compounds showing the ability to inhibit effector toxin secretion or translocation mediated by bacterial type III secretion systems are disclosed. The disclosed type III secretion system inhibitor compounds are useful for combating infections by Gram-negative bacteria such as
Salmonella
spp.,
Shigella flexneri, Pseudomonas
spp.,
Yersinia
spp., enteropathogenic and enteroinvasive
Escherichia coli
, and
Chlamydia
spp. having such type III secretion systems.
本发明揭示了一种有机化合物,其具有抑制由细菌III型分泌系统介导的效应毒素分泌或转位的能力。揭示的III型分泌系统
抑制剂化合物对于对抗革兰氏阴性菌的感染非常有用,例如沙门氏菌属,弯曲杆菌,假单胞菌属,耶尔森菌属,肠致病性和肠侵袭性大肠杆菌以及具有此类III型分泌系统的沙眼衣原体属。
