Product Data:
Biological target: INF55 is a NorA efflux pump inhibitor.
In vitro activity: This study hypothesised that if the proposed mechanism is correct, then hybrids carrying more potent INF55 pump inhibitor structures should show enhanced antibacterial effects relative to those bearing weaker inhibitors. Two INF55 analogues showing graded reductions in NorA inhibitory activity compared with INF55 were identified and their corresponding berberine-INF55 hybrids carrying equivalent INF55 inhibitor structures synthesised. Multiple assays comparing the antibacterial effects of the hybrids and their corresponding berberine-INF55 analogue combinations showed that the three hybrids all show very similar activities, leading this study to conclude that the antibacterial mechanism(s) of berberine-INF55 hybrids is different from berberine-INF55 combinations.

In vivo activity: In conclusion, this study demonstrates that attaching NorA EPIs to MB can increase aPDI effectiveness against the Gram-negative pathogens E. coli and A. baumannii in vitro and in vivo.
