Abstract 


The current study is to evaluate the inhibition of biofilm formation and quorum sensing activity of isolated 3, 5, 7-Trihydroxyflavone (TF) from A.scholaris leaf extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The effects of isolated TF on quorum sensing-regulated virulence factors production such as swimming motility, pyocyanin production, proteolytic, EPS, metabolic assay and inhibition of biofilm formation against P.aeruginosa was evaluated by standard protocols. In addition, the interaction between the isolated TF and active sites of QS- gene (LasI/rhlI, LasR/rhlR, and AHLase) in P.aeruginosa was evaluated by molecular docking studies using AutoDock Tools version 1.5.6. Based on the structural elucidation of the isolated compound was identified as 3, 5, 7-Trihydroxyflavone. Consequently, the isolated TF shows a significant reduction of biofilm formation through the inhibition of QS-dependent phenotypes such as pyocyanin production, proteolytic, swimming motility, EPS activities against P.aeruginosa in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking analysis of isolated TF can interfere the signaling [N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C12-HSL) and N-butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C4-HSL)] molecules in P.aeruginosa by QS genes (LasI, LasR, rhlI, and AHLase) regulation. The isolated TF compound from A.scholaris reveals a greater potential to inhibit biofilm and QS dependent virulence factor production in P.aeruginosa. Docking interaction studies of TF-LasR complex express higher binding affinity than the other QS gene in P.aeruginosa.
