OBJECTIVE Anti-quorum sensing and anti-biofilm efficacy of Cinnamic acid against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was comparatively assessed with respect to potent quorum sensing inhibitor, Baicalein. RESULTS At sub-lethal concentration, Cinnamic acid effectively inhibited both the production of the QS-dependent virulence factors and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa without affecting the viability of the bacterium. The phytocompound interfered with the initial attachment of planktonic cells to the substratum thereby causing reduction in biofilm development. In addition, the in vivo study indicated that the test compound protected Caenorhabditis elegans from the virulence factors of P. aeruginosa leading to reduced mortality. The in silico analysis revealed that Cinnamic acid can act as a competitive inhibitor for the natural ligands towards the ligand binding domain of the transcriptional activators of the quorum sensing circuit in P. aeruginosa, LasR and RhlR. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that Cinnamic acid may serve as a novel quorum sensing based anti-infective in controlling P. aeruginosa infections.
