Cinnamic‐Hydroxamic‐Acid Derivatives Exhibit Antibiotic, Anti‐Biofilm, and Supercoiling Relaxation Properties by Targeting Bacterial Nucleoid‐Associated Protein HU

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cinnamic‐hydroxamic‐acid derivatives (CHADs) are identified as novel inhibitors of the bacterial nucleoid‐associated protein HU, exhibiting potent antibacterial, anti‐biofilm (both inhibition and eradication), and DNA relaxation (anti‐supercoiling) activities. Moreover, CHADs demonstrate strong synergistic effects with multiple antibiotics.

Balanced Expression of the Diiron Oxygenase BioE Is Essential for Biotin Homeostasis in Elizabethkingia meningoseptica

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
BioE is a new diiron oxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of long‐chain acyl groups into pimeloyl thioester, initiating biotin synthesis. The overexpression of EmBioE disrupts lipid metabolic homeostasis, requiring repressor BioL to maintain a balance between long‐chain fatty acids and biotin synthesis.

Assessing transporter‐mediated rifampin–linezolid interaction using physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic modelling

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The study aims to develop a physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to quantitatively evaluate the role of ATP‐binding cassette sub‐family B member 1 (ABCB1) and ATP‐binding cassette super‐family G member 2 (ABCG2) in the drug–drug interaction (DDI) between rifampin and linezolid and to predict the impact of high‐dose rifampin ...
