Preventative treatment with Fluorothiazinon suppressed Acinetobacter baumannii-associated septicemia in mice.

The high prevalence of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a serious problem in the treatment of nosocomial infections in the past three decades. Recently, we developed a new small-molecule inhibitor belonging to a class of 2,4-disubstituted-4H-[1,3,4]-thiadiazine-5-ones, Fluorothiazinon (FT, previously called CL-55). FT effectively suppressed the T3SS of Chlamydia spp.

Fluorothiazinon, a small-molecular inhibitor of T3SS, suppresses salmonella oral infection in mice.

Therapeutic strategies that target bacterial virulence have received considerable attention. The type III secretion system (T3SS) is important for bacterial virulence and represents an attractive therapeutic target. Recently, we developed a new small-molecule inhibitor belonging to a class 2,4-disubstituted-4H-[1,3,4]-thiadiazine-5-ones, Fluorothiazinon (FT-previously called CL-55).

Small Molecule Inhibitor of Type Three Secretion System Belonging to a Class 2,4-disubstituted-4H-[1,3,4]-thiadiazine-5-ones Improves Survival and Decreases Bacterial Loads in an Airway Infection in Mice.

is a cause of high mortality in burn, immunocompromised, and surgery patients. High incidence of antibiotic resistance in this pathogen makes the existent therapy inefficient. Type three secretion system (T3SS) is a leading virulence system of that actively suppresses host resistance and enhances the severity of infection.

Identification of chlamydial T3SS inhibitors through virtual screening against T3SS ATPase.

Chlamydia trachomatis is a widespread sexually transmitted pathogen that resides within a special vacuole inside host cells. Although acute infection can be treated with antibiotics, chlamydia can enter persistent state, leading to chronic infection that is difficult to cure. Thus, novel anti-chlamydial compounds active against persistent chlamydia are required.

A small-molecule compound belonging to a class of 2,4-disubstituted 1,3,4-thiadiazine-5-ones suppresses Salmonella infection in vivo.

Therapeutic strategies that target bacterial virulence have received considerable attention. The type III secretion system (T3SS) is important for bacterial virulence and represents an attractive therapeutic target. A novel compound with a predicted T3SS inhibitory activity named CL-55 (N-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,3,4]-thiadiazine-2-carboxamide) was previously characterized by low toxicity, high levels of solubility, stability and specific efficiency toward Chlamydia trachomatis in vitro and in vivo.

A small-molecule compound belonging to a class of 2,4-disubstituted 1,3,4-thiadiazine-5-ones inhibits intracellular growth and persistence of Chlamydia trachomatis.

Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common sexually transmitted pathogens in the world and often causes chronic inflammatory diseases that are insensitive to antibiotics. The type 3 secretion system (T3SS) of pathogenic bacteria is a promising target for therapeutic intervention aimed at bacterial virulence and can be an attractive alternative for the treatment of chronic infections. Recently, we have shown that a small-molecule compound belonging to a class of 2,4-disubstituted 1,3,4-thiadiazine-5-ones produced through the chemical modification of the thiohydrazides of oxamic acids, designated CL-55, inhibited the intracellular growth of C.

Small molecule inhibitor of type three secretion suppresses acute and chronic Chlamydia trachomatis infection in a novel urogenital Chlamydia model.

Previously, we reported that a compound from a group of thiohydrazides of oxamic acids, CL-55, possessed antichlamydial activity in vitro that was accompanied by a decreased translocation of the type three secretion effector, IncA, into the host cell. In this study, the antichlamydial activity of CL-55 was tested in vivo in DBA/2 mice infected with C. trachomatis serovar D.
