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

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSDs) as therapeutic targets: protein structures, functions, and recent progress in inhibitor development.

TL;DR: An overview of functional and structural aspects for the different 17β-HSDs is given and the selective inhibition of the concerned enzymes might provide an effective treatment and a good alternative to the existing endocrine therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic-free nanotherapeutics: ultra-small, mucus-penetrating solid lipid nanoparticles enhance the pulmonary delivery and anti-virulence efficacy of novel quorum sensing inhibitors.

TL;DR: In this context, various pharmaceutical lipids were used to prepare ultra-small solid lipid nanoparticles (us-SLNs) by hot melt homogenization, which exhibited anti-virulence properties themselves, which was shown to be related to anti- virulence effects of the emulsifiers used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of Antagonists of PqsR, a Key Player in 2-Alkyl-4-quinolone-Dependent Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

TL;DR: In vitro evaluation using a reporter gene assay in Escherichia coli led to the discovery of the first competitive PqsR antagonists, which are highly potent (K(d,app) of compound 20: 7 nM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Aromatase inhibitors. Synthesis and evaluation of mammary tumor inhibiting activity of 3-alkylated 3-(4-aminophenyl)piperidine-2,6-diones

TL;DR: Being stronger and more selective inhibitors of the estrogen biosynthesis than AG, some of the newly developed derivatives of AG might be better candidates for the treatment of the hormone-dependent human breast cancer.
