Abstract: The present invention relates to c-di-GMP lowering chemical compounds having anti- biofilm properties. In particular, the present invention relates to anti-biofilm compounds or salts or tautomers thereof for use in treatment and/or prevention of bacterial biofilm infection in human subjects caused by biofilm-forming bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas, in particular Pseudomonas spp. including P. aeruginosa. Methods of treating such infections in human subjects are contemplated as well. The present inventions further relates to the use of an anti-biofilm compound or a salt or tautomer thereof for dispersing biofilms in industrial water systems.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cleavable linker platform. In particular, the invention relates to construction of an enzyme cleavable linker platform conjugated to a drug or a diagnostically relevant compound, a biomolecule, and an enzyme cleavable group, for which cleavage of the enzyme cleavable group leads to release of the drug or diagnostically relevant compound.

Abstract: The photolabile hydrazine linker of the present invention is based on the o-nitro-veratryl group, which is capable of releasing hydrazide derivatives upon UV irradiation. The linker allows for a new solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) strategy which is fully orthogonal to the most commonly used protecting groups and chemical methods in SPPS and shows excellent compatibility with peptide composition, notably the 20 naturally occurring ?-amino acid residues (even in their side-chain protected form) are accepted in the C-terminal of the peptide hydrazides. Furthermore, the linker unit can be applied to synthesize combinatorial libraries of biological interesting heterocyclic compounds, such as pyranopyrazoles.
