Article Title: Identification of a small molecule 0390 as a potent antimicrobial agent to combat antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli
doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1078318
Figure Lengend Snippet: Antimicrobial effects of 0390 against Escherichia coli . (A) Workflow of the in vitro high-throughput screening assay of the MINI Scaffold library, containing 5,033 MINI molecules. The OD value was determined by a microplate spectrophotometer. The structural formula and characteristics of a hit (hit compound), 0390 (6056–0390) were shown. H_acceptor: hydrogen bond acceptor count. H_donor: hydrogen bond donor count. B_rotN: rotatable bond count. LogP: oil- water partition coefficient. (B) Growth of E. coli ATCC 25922 after exposure to different concentrations of 0390 for 18 h. The experiment was repeated three times.
Article Snippet: Here, to identify novel antibacterial compounds with different structures from the conventional antibiotics, we screened MINI Scaffold Library (TopScience, L5600) containing 5,033 bioactive small-molecules and determined a novel small molecular compound, 0390, which was found effective alone or in combination with SPR741 to combat E. coli , including its standard strain and drug-resistant clinical isolates.
