In this study, we synthesized four series of novel L-homoserine lactone analogs and evaluated their in vitro quorum sensing (QS) inhibitory activity against two biomonitor strains, Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Studies of the structure-activity relationships of the set of L-homoserine lactone analogs indicated that phenylurea-containing N-dithiocarbamated homoserine lactones are more potent than (Z)-4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-2(5H)-furanone (C30), a positive control for biofilm formation. In particular, compared with C30, QS inhibitor 11f significantly reduced the production of virulence factors (pyocyanin, elastase and rhamnolipid), swarming motility, the formation of biofilm and the mRNA level of QS-related genes regulated by the QS system of PAO1. These results reveal 11f as a potential lead compound for developing novel antibacterial quorum sensing inhibitors.

The control of avocado pests and diseases heavily relies on the use of several types of pesticides, some of which are strictly monitored or not internationally accepted. New sources of bioactive molecules produced by phytopathogen-inhibiting microorganisms offer an excellent alternative for the control of pests and diseases. This study explores the potential antagonistic action against phytopathogenic microorganisms, using bacterial strains obtained from avocado thrips.

Article Synopsis
- * The presence of persistent free radicals (PFRs) in RS biochar contributes to the degradation of a signaling molecule (C4-HSL), which disrupts the communication (quorum sensing) among HBPs.
- * This research highlights the potential of biochar as a soil remediation technology to lower the risks posed by HBPs, emphasizing the importance of biochar's source in its effectiveness.

Article Synopsis
- * Exogenous N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) have been shown to improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment microorganisms, though their impact on AOB's ability to cometabolize antibiotics is less explored.
- * This study investigates the effects of N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL) on the removal of the antibiotic sulfadiazine (SDZ) by AOB, finding that C6-HSL enhances SDZ degradation by promoting microbial activity and
Article Synopsis
- Adenovirus infections are particularly dangerous for immunocompromised individuals, with no FDA-approved treatment currently available, leading to the off-label use of cidofovir which has kidney toxicity.
- Research has shown that USC-093, an orally administered prodrug, is effective against adenovirus in hamsters, showing less nephrotoxicity compared to traditional treatments.
- The study details the synthesis of USC-093 and its D-homoserinamide analogue, finding that both have significantly higher potency against adenoviruses compared to cidofovir, particularly highlighting the benefits of USC-093D in terms of efficacy.
