Synergistic Inhibitions of Gram-negative Bacteria by Combination Treatment with Ciprofloxacin and a Novel Glucolipid

Chem Biodivers. 2024 Apr 17:e202400578. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202400578. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPsychrophilic fungus Pseudogymnoascus sp. OUCMDZ-4032 derived from Antarctica was cultivated under 16 ℃ to produce a new glucolipid compound (1). Its structure was elucidated by analysis of detailed spectroscopic data, acid hydrolysis and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone precolumn derivatization, and 13C NMR quantum chemical calculations. Though compound 1 did not show inhibitory activity against bacteria, it can reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ciprofloxacin against Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella paratyphi by 1024, 256 and 256-fold. Compound 1 showed potential as a synergistically inhibiting adjuvant in co-administration with antibiotic to enhance antibacterial activities.PMID:38634186 | DOI:10.1002/cbdv.202400578
