local.description.resumoPseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an opportunistic pathogen naturally resistant to many common antibiotics and acquires new resistance traits at an alarming pace. Targeting the bacterial virulence factors by an antivirulence strategy, therefore, represents a promising alternative approach besides antibiotic therapy. The Type III secretion system (T3SS) of P. aeruginosa is one of its main virulence factors. It consists of more than 20 proteins building a complex syringe-like machinery enabling the injection of toxin into host cells. Previous works showed that disrupting interactions between components of this machinery efficiently lowers the bacterial virulence. Using automated target-based screening of commercial and in-house libraries of small molecules, we identified compounds inhibiting the protein–protein interaction between PscE and PscG, the two cognate chaperones of the needle subunit PscF of P. aeruginosa T3SS. Two hits were selected and assembled using Split/Mix/Click chemistry to build larger hybrid analogues. Their efficacy and toxicity were evaluated using phenotypic analysis including automated microscopy and image analysis. Two nontoxic hybrid leads specifically inhibited the T3SS and reduced the ex vivo cytotoxicity of bacteria and their virulence in Galleria mellonella.
