Journal ArticleDOI

Towards the sustainable discovery and development of new antibiotics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a strategic blueprint to substantially improve our ability to discover and develop new antibiotics, and propose both short-term and long-term solutions to overcome the most urgent limitations in the various sectors of research and funding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Strategies for the Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections

TL;DR: It can be expected that combination therapies, also containing antivirulence agents, will pave the way toward novel treatment options against P. aeruginosa, and antivirulent drugs are expected to yield a significantly reduced rate of resistance development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycomimetic, Orally Bioavailable LecB Inhibitors Block Biofilm Formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

TL;DR: A new class of drug-like low molecular weight inhibitors of the lectin LecB with nanomolar affinities and excellent receptor binding kinetics and thermodynamics is reported, efficiently blocked biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa in vitro while the natural monovalent carbohydrate ligands failed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of two classes of potent glycomimetic inhibitors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LecB with distinct binding modes

TL;DR: Cinnamide and sulfonamide derivatives are inhibitors of bacterial adhesion with up to a 20-fold increase in affinity to LecB compared to the natural ligand methyl mannoside and capped structures as reported here may offer a beneficial selectivity profile for the pathogenic lectin.
Journal ArticleDOI

A safe and convenient method for the preparation of triflyl azide, and its use in diazo transfer reactions to primary amines

TL;DR: In this paper, a safe and convenient method for the copper(II)-catalyzed diazo transfer from triflyl azide to primary amines is reported.
