Inhibitors of acyl glucosaminyl inositol amidase and methods of use

摘要

The present invention provides compounds with activity as inhibitors of acyl glucosaminylinositol amidases with amidase activity against S-conjugate amides, particularly mycothiol-derived S-conjugate amides. Certain of the invention compounds are naturally occurring compounds obtained from marine sponges and other organisms. The invention further provides methods for using the compounds to inhibit virulence and reduce antibiotic resistance of mycothiol-producing bacteria.
