Abstract

Quorum-sensing (QS) is a cell density-dependent signaling pathway regulated by gene expression for intra- and interspecies communication. We have targeted QS activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic human pathogen that causes disease in immunocompromised patients, with a set of probes containing a variety of functional groups, including photoreactive (diazirine) and affinity (alkyne) moieties, that were synthesized using a four-component Ugi reaction (Ugi-4CR).
