  • Molecules and compositions that inhibit gram negative bacteria and their uses
    Patent number: 9751851
    Abstract: Antivirulence strategies to combat Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are described. One strategy encompasses synthesis of a series of compounds that inhibit the production of pyocyanin, a redox-active virulence factor produced by this pathogen. A related strategy encompasses synthesis of compounds that inhibit the two P. aeruginosa quorum-sensing receptors, LasR and RhlR, inhibit production of pyocyanin, and inhibit biofilm formation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 19, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 5, 2017
    Assignee: THE TRUSTEES OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
