virulence factor pyocyanin

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].

F-17 is a promising virulence factor inhibitor, displaying substantial inhibitory effects on biofilm formation, elastase activity, pyocyanin production, and swarming motility. Additionally, F-17 exhibits a strong binding affinity towards LasR and PqsR. Notably, F-17 does not exhibit any discernible cytotoxicity [1].
