cellular factors, including the transcription Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB); this factor is found to be upregulated in many inflammatory diseases, including those induced by bacterial infection. In this study, we tested 32 synthetic derivatives of coumaperine (CP), a known natural compound found in pepper (Piper nigrum), for Quorum Sensing Inhibition (QSI) and NF-κB inhibitory activities. Of the compounds
称为群体感应(QS)的细菌通讯是减少毒力和治疗细菌感染的有希望的目标。感染会引起炎症,这一过程受许多细胞因子调节,包括转录核因子κB(NF-κB);发现该因子在许多炎性疾病中被上调,包括细菌感染引起的那些。在这项研究中,我们测试了32种香豆素(CP)的合成衍生物,香豆素是一种在胡椒中发现的已知天然化合物(Piper nigrum),用于群体感应抑制(QSI)和NF-κB抑制活性。在测试的化合物中,发现有七个具有高QSI活性,三个抑制了细菌的生长,五个抑制了NF-κB。此外,某些CP化合物在一项以上的测试中具有活性。例如,化合物CP-286,CP-215和CP-158无细胞毒性,抑制NF-κB活化和QS,但不显示抗菌活性。CP-154抑制QS,降低NF-κB活化并抑制细菌生长。我们的结果表明,这些合成分子可能为进一步开发针对细菌感染的新型治疗剂提供基础。
