Structural highlights
FunctionFIMH_ECOLI Involved in regulation of length and mediation of adhesion of type 1 fimbriae (but not necessary for the production of fimbriae). Adhesin responsible for the binding to D-mannose. It is laterally positioned at intervals in the structure of the type 1 fimbriae. In order to integrate FimH in the fimbriae FimF and FimG are needed. Publication Abstract from PubMedRecently, we extended the anti-adhesive concept showing that potent FimH antagonists can block the attachment of adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) colonizing the intestinal mucosa of patients with Crohn's disease (CD). In this work, we designed a small library of analogs of heptylmannoside (HM), a previously identified nanomolar FimH inhibitor, but displaying poor in vivo anti-adhesive effects. The anomeric oxygen atom was replaced by a sulfur or a methylene group to prevent hydrolysis by intestinal glycosidases, and chemical groups were attached at the end of the alkyl tail. Importantly, a lead compound was shown to reduce AIEC levels in the feces, colonic and ileal mucosa after oral administration in a transgenic mouse model of CD. The compound showed a preferable low bioavailability suggesting the possibility of setting up an innovative antiadhesive therapy for CD patients in which AIEC play a key role, with the water-soluble and non-cytotoxic FimH, antagonists developed here.
