Abstract
During the last years significant efforts have been made to discover compounds with inhibitory activity of quorum-sensing systems, which could represent an anti-pathogenic strategy, since they will inhibit the coordinated expression of virulence determinants, without interfering with bacterial growth, being less likely to generate resistance. The present study is reviewing the main types of quorum sensing inhibitors known to date, that manifest the potential to be used as anti-virulence drugs for the treatment of infections with multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa strains, and describes a new strategy of virulence attenuation based on organic acids produced by probiotic strains, which have been proved to influence in sub-inhibitory (sI) grown concentrations the QS genes expression in P. aeruginosa multidrug resistant strains, proving that the organic acids secreted by probiotics could act as quorum sensing inhibitors.

Advances of Heterocyclic Chemistry with Pesticide Activity
Global food safety and security will continue to be a global concern for the next 50 years and beyond. Plant diseases have had a significant impact on food safety and security throughout the entire food chain, from primary production to consumption. While conventional chemical pesticides have been traditionally used for ...read more
Calculation design of covalent/metal organic framework based catalysts
This research area combines theoretical computation and screening with machine learning for the design of covalent/metal organic framework-based catalysts, bridging the disciplines of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, materials science, and machine learning. It covers several critical aspects: designing and synthesizing organic catalysts for improved performance, applying computational methods ...read more
Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
