Drug-resistant bacteria associated with biofilm formation are rapidly on the rise, requiring novel therapeutic options to combat biofilm induced drug-resistance. In this study, a class of 3-hydroxy-2-(phenylhydroxy-methyl)-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one derivatives (1a-1e) were found by screening of an in-house compound library to be potential Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm inhibitors. Thirty one novel 2-substituted 3-hydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one derivatives were synthesized and assayed for their biofilm inhibitory activity. A promising biofilm inhibitor 6a was identified, and showed an obvious biofilm inhibitory effect even at a concentration of 2.5 μM. Further mechanism studies revealed that 6a only shows inhibitory effects on the expression of pqsA-gfp in a fluorescent reporter strain, and the production of a PQS- regulated virulence factor, pyocyanin. This indicates that this type of compound exercises its anti-biofilm activity specifically through the PQS pathway. Novel chemical biofilm inhibitors are described here and guard against biofilm formation associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.
