    Abstract

    The bacterial second messenger cyclic bis-(3'-5')-diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) regulates diverse Gram-negative bacterial virulence functions. The pathways that control, or are controlled by, c-di-GMP suggest that c-di-GMP signaling systems may encompass potential drug targets. It is presently undetermined, however, whether up- or down-modulation of c-di-GMP signaling would be the desired therapeutic state. We addressed potential drug target validation by synthesizing nonhydrolysable carbamate analogs of both the cyclic dinucleotide and the acyclic (seco) dinucleotide. A molecular docking simulation of the carbamate isostere suggests that this analog is capable of assuming the correct conformation and pose at a c-di-GMP binding site.
