Substituted benzimidazole compounds useful as anti-infectives that decrease resistance, virulence, or growth of microbes are provided. Methods of using substituted benzimidazole compounds, in, e.g., reducing virulence and infectivity, inhibiting biofilms and treating bacterial infections are also provided.

Structure-based drug design was utilized to identify potent small-molecule inhibitors of proteins within the AraC family of bacterial transcription factors, which control virulence in medically important microbes. These agents represent a novel approach to fight infectious disease and may be less likely to promote resistance development. These compounds lack intrinsic antibacterial activity in vitro and were able to limit a bacterial infection in a mouse model of urinary tract infection.
