Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for identifying and/or quantifying an anti-infective compound. Furthermore it relates to a method for identifying and/or quantifying a mutation in a virulence factor of a pathogen of a host organism that reduces the virulence of the pathogen to a unicellular test organism.
Abstract:
The invention relates to cyclopentanecarboxylic acid derivatives and related compounds of formula (I) wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 are as described in the specification, processes for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, the use thereof optionally in combination with one or more other pharmaceutically active compounds as anti-bacterial agents for the therapy of infective diseases, and a method for the treatment of such diseases. The compounds of formula (I) are reducing selectively the pathogenicity of bacteria within the host, but without affecting the bacteria outside the host environment.
