Novel bacterial quinolone signal molecules and, more particularly, pseudomonas quinolone signal (“PQS”) molecules, e.g., 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone, and analogs and derivatives thereof are described. Therapeutic compositions containing the molecules, and therapeutic methods, methods of for regulating gene expression, methods for identifying modulators of the autoinducer molecules, and methods of modulating quorum sensing signalling in bacteria using the compounds of the invention are also described.
描述了新型细菌喹诺酮信号分子,更具体地说是假单胞菌喹诺酮信号(“PQS”)分子,例如2-庚基-3-羟基-4-喹诺酮,以及其类似物和衍生物。还描述了含有这些分子的治疗组合物,治疗方法,调控基因表达的方法,识别自体诱导分子调节剂的方法,以及利用本发明中的化合物调节细菌中群体感知信号的方法。
