Product Description
4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid is a PqsR antagonist (inhibitor) with IC50s of 12.5 μM and 23.6 μM in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively. 4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid can reduce the production of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factor pyocyanin, with IC50 of 87.2 μM.
4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid (CAS: 62034-73-5) is a small-molecule PqsR antagonist that functions as a quorum sensing inhibitor. It is a hydroxamic acid derivative that has been investigated for its ability to reduce the production of virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. By targeting the PqsR receptor, a key regulator of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) system, this compound disrupts bacterial communication and pathogenicity. It is used primarily as a research tool in anti-virulence and anti-infective drug discovery programs to study bacterial quorum sensing mechanisms.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of 4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid is PqsR (also known as MvfR), a LysR-type transcriptional regulator that controls the production of virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compound acts as an antagonist of PqsR, binding to the receptor and inhibiting its activity. This prevents the activation of the PQS quorum sensing system, leading to a reduction in the expression of virulence genes. The compound also exhibits dual-target activity against histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) in addition to PqsR, due to its hydroxamic acid moiety which is a known pharmacophore for HDAC inhibition.
ln Vitro
4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid demonstrates significant in vitro activity against quorum sensing. It inhibits PqsR with IC50 values of 12.5 μM in Escherichia coli and 23.6 μM in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compound also effectively reduces the production of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factor pyocyanin, with an IC50 of 87.2 μM. Its activity against PqsR is concentration-dependent, and the dual-target activity against HDAC1 may contribute to additional anti-virulence or host-modulatory effects. The compound's potency in bacterial systems confirms its utility as a chemical probe for studying PqsR function.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for 4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid are not extensively reported in the available literature. As a PqsR antagonist with anti-virulence activity, the compound is expected to reduce bacterial pathogenicity in animal models of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Its ability to inhibit pyocyanin production in vitro suggests that it could attenuate the severity of infections in vivo by reducing the production of this key virulence factor. However, specific in vivo efficacy data, including animal models, dosing regimens, and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships, are not detailed in the available sources and would require further investigation.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for 4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid typically involve PqsR binding or functional assays. For binding affinity measurements, recombinant PqsR protein or bacterial whole-cell systems expressing PqsR are used. Radiolabeled or fluorescently labeled PQS or synthetic PqsR ligands are employed as probes to measure competitive displacement by the test compound. In functional assays, the compound's ability to inhibit PqsR-mediated gene expression is measured using reporter gene constructs, such as PqsR-responsive promoters fused to luciferase or β-galactosidase, in E. coli or P. aeruginosa backgrounds.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for 4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid are performed in bacterial cultures to assess its effects on quorum sensing and virulence factor production. Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultures are grown in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound, and the production of pyocyanin, a key virulence factor regulated by PqsR, is quantified spectrophotometrically. The compound's ability to inhibit biofilm formation or other PqsR-dependent phenotypes may also be assessed in these cellular assays. The IC50 for pyocyanin inhibition is determined to be 87.2 μM.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal models for evaluating 4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid would typically involve murine models of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. In such studies, animals are infected with P. aeruginosa, either locally (e.g., in a wound or lung infection model) or systemically, and then treated with the compound. Endpoints include bacterial burden, survival rates, and levels of virulence factors such as pyocyanin in infected tissues. However, specific experimental protocols and detailed in vivo efficacy data for this compound are not extensively documented in the publicly available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid have not been extensively reported. The compound is soluble in DMSO at ~100 mg/mL (~517.49 mM), which facilitates preparation for both in vitro and in vivo studies. It can be formulated for injection using vehicles such as DMSO, Tween 80, and saline in a 10:5:85 ratio. The compound is stable when stored as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years and in solution at -80°C for up to 6 months. However, detailed pharmacokinetic parameters including bioavailability, half-life, and clearance are not available in the literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid are limited. The compound is classified as a research-use-only chemical and is not intended for human consumption. Hydroxamic acid derivatives are generally known to have metal-chelating properties, which can contribute to both their biological activity and potential toxicity. The compound's dual activity against HDAC1 also raises the possibility of epigenetic effects that could contribute to toxicity at higher concentrations or with prolonged exposure. However, specific toxicological data, including acute toxicity, genotoxicity, and target organ effects, are not reported in the available literature.
Additional Infomation
4-(tert-Butyl)-benzhydroxamic Acid is a research-grade compound not approved for clinical use. Its primary application is in studying bacterial quorum sensing, particularly the PqsR-mediated PQS system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compound is a valuable tool for investigating anti-virulence strategies as an alternative to traditional antibiotics. By inhibiting PqsR, it reduces the production of virulence factors without killing the bacteria, thereby potentially reducing selective pressure for resistance. Its hydroxamic acid moiety also confers HDAC1 inhibitory activity, making it a potential dual-target probe for studying the interplay between bacterial quorum sensing and host epigenetic regulation.
