The alarming rise of antibiotic resistant pathogens poses a serious threat to public health and urgently necessitates the development of new antibiotics. In order to reduce the selection pressure on bacteria, this study aims at the development of ‘pathoblockers’ which target bacterial virulence instead of killing the pathogens. In this context, secreted bacterial collagenases represent highly attractive targets because of their pivotal roles in the infection process and their advantageous extracellular localization. In this thesis, the development of inhibitors of ColH from Clostridium histolyticum and LasB from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is described. A class of N-aryl mercaptoacetamides displays promising activity on both targets, with distin...
