Rational design of inhibitors of VirA–VirG two-component signal transduction
摘要:
VirA-VirG two-component system regulates the vir (virulence) operon in response to specific host factors (xenognosins) in the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Using whole cell assays, stable inhibitors inspired by the labile natural benzoxazinone inhibitor HDMBOA are developed. It is found that aromatic aldehydes represent a minimal structural unit for activity. In particular, 3-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxy-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one (HDI) was found to have the highest activity, making it the most potent developed inhibitor of virulence gene expression in Agrobacterium.

The configuration of concentricolide was assigned as (S). The configuration of its three analogs, which have anti-HIV-1 activity, were predicted by optical rotation values obtained by the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-31+G(d) and B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ//MP2/6-311+G(d) methods. The two methods predict very close optical rotation magnitudes for all three chiral analogs of concentricolide. The two methods were
