Fluorescent nitric oxide donor for the detection and killing of: Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The epidemic of multidrug-resistant bacteria calls for the improvement of both detection methods for bacterial infections and methods of treatment. Nitric oxide is a known potent antibacterial agent, but due to its gaseous and highly reactive nature, it is difficult to incorporate into a stable antibacterial compound. In this paper, we synthesize a nitric oxide donor attached to a fluorescent compound, creating a material that can both detect and kill the deadly multi-drug resistant bacteria strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Detection occurs through a bacterial enzyme-activated color change, showing a clear and obvious change from blue to yellow under UV light. The synthesized compound spontaneously releases 853 μmol of nitric oxide/g from a 10 mM initial concentration. Antibacterial efficacy studies after exposing Pseudomonas aeruginosa to a 10 mM dose of the synthesized compound show a 55-75% reduction in bacteria after 24 hours. This work is the first instance of a small molecule dual-function material that can both detect and kill bacteria.
Nitration of the Acetanilide-type Compounds

Some aromatic compounds containing the imino group (NH) were nitrated in acetic acid or anhydride, and the ortho/para ratios were measured.N-Methyl derivatives of the aforementioned compounds are much less reactive when nitrated under comparable conditions and give significantly lower o/p ratios.These results along with the literature data support the hypothesis that the acetanilide-type compounds are nitrated via N-nitro intermediates.
