Abstract

The expression of many staphylococcal virulence factors are regulated by the agr locus via a two-component signal transduction system (TCSTS), which is activated in response to a secreted autoinducer peptide (AIP). By exploiting the unique chemical architecture of the naturally occurring AIP-1, several potent inhibitors of staphylococcal TCSTS were designed and synthesized using either a linear or branched solid-phase approach. These inhibitors are competitive binders and contain the crucial 16-membered side-chain-to-tail thiolactone peptide pharmacophore. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
