4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid is a PqsR antagonist with IC50s of 12.5 μM and 23.6 μM for E. coli and P. aeruginosa, respectively, and it reduces the production of the virulence factor pyocyanin in P. aeruginosa with an IC50 of 87.2 μM[1].

Cyclic-di-GMP is a STING agonist and ubiquitous second messenger, which regulates the formation, motility and virulence of biofilms in various bacterial species.
Equisetin, an N-methylserine-derived acyl tetramic acid isolated from the terrestrial fungus Fusarium equiseti NRRL 5537, functions as a Quorum-sensing inhibitor (QSI) that specifically attenuates QS-regulated virulence phenotypes in P. aeruginosa, presenting a potent lead for treating P. aeruginosa infections without hindering bacterial growth. This tetramate-containing natural product possesses antibiotic and cytotoxic properties, effectively inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and HIV-1 integrase activity, yet it does not impact Gram-negative bacteria.
Inz-5 is a fungal-selective inhibitor of mitochondrial cytochrome bc1. Inz-5 impairs fungal virulence. It also prevents the evolution of drug resistance.
5'-pApA is a linearized form of cyclic di-AMP, a bacterial second messenger that activates the host innate immune system through stimulator of interferon genes (STING).1,2,3,4It is a metabolite of cyclic di-AMP formedviahydrolysis by various phosphodiesterases (PDEs).55'-pApA is intended for use as a negative control for cyclic di-AMP signaling. 1.Burdette, D.L., Monroe, K.M., Sotelo-Troha, K., et al.STING is a direct innate immune sensor of cyclic-di-GMPNature478(7370)515-518(2011) 2.Parvatiyar, K., Zhang, Z., Teles, R.M., et al.DDX41 recognizes bacterial secondary messengers cyclic di-GMP and cyclic di-AMP to activate a type I interferon immune responseNat.

Pheleuin is a pyrazinone derivative synthesized from a dipeptide aldehyde. Although the biological activity of this compound has not been reported, similar diketopiperazines are known to inhibit calpain and or regulate S. aureus virulence factor expression.
