2-(2-nitrovinyl) furan is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent with activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, the contributions of reactive oxygen species, oxidative DNA damage and glutathione depletion to its activity against Acinetobacter baumannii was investigated. Inactivation of sodB, katG and recA lowered the minimum inhibitory concentration of 2-(2-nitrovinyl) furan. Furthermore, the inactivation increased the superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide contents of 2-(2-nitrovinyl) furan-treated A. baumannii. Antioxidant (thiourea) reversed the elevated levels of superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide. In addition, thiourea lowered the susceptibility of A. baumannii to 2-(2-nitrovinyl) furan. 2-(2-nitrovinyl) furan depleted reduced glutathione (GSH) contents of parental, sodB, katG and recA strains of A. baumannii. NAD+/NADH ratio parental, sodB, katG and recA strains of A. baumannii exposed to 2-(2-nitrovinyl) furan increased significantly. Inactivation of type-I NADH dehydrogenase lowered the reactive oxygen species generation in 2-(2-nitrovinyl) furan-treated A. baumannii. It is evident from this study that 2-(2-nitrovinyl) furan stimulates respiratory chain activity of A. baumannii leading to enhanced ROS generation, which depletes GSH and reacts with Fe2+ to produce hydroxyl radical that damage DNA.
