Method of inhibiting biofilm formation

Xanthochymol and garcinol, isoprenylated benzophenones purified from Garcinia xanthochymus fruits, showed multiple activities against fungal biofilms. Both compounds effectively prevented emergence of fungal germ tubes and were also cytostatic, with MICs of 1 to 3 ΞM. The compounds therefore inhibited development of hyphae and subsequent biofilm maturation. Xanthochymol treatment of developing and mature biofilms induced cell death. In early biofilm development, killing had the characteristics of apoptosis. These activities resulted in failure of biofilm maturation and hyphal death in mature biofilms. In mature biofilms, xanthochymol and garcinol caused the death of biofilm hyphae, with 50% effective concentrations (EC50s) of 30 to 50 μM. Additionally, xanthochymol-mediated killing was complementary with fluconazole against mature biofilms, reducing the fluconazole EC50 from greater than 1,024 μg per ml to 13 μg per ml.

Methods for Inhibiting the Development, Formation and/or Maturation of Bacterial and Fungal Biofilms

The present disclosure describes compositions and methods for inhibiting the development, formation and / or maturation of bacterial and fungal biofilms. The biofilm inhibiting compositions include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as APIs, and ethoxylated oil as a solubilizing agent. The ethoxylated oils employed within the biofilm inhibiting compositions includes between 9 and 24 ethoxylations / molecules. The NSAIDs agents within the biofilm inhibiting compositions inhibit the syntheses of prostaglandins by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme system due to the analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties of the NSAIDs. The biofilm inhibiting compositions inhibit the cyclooxygenase isoenzymes required for prostaglandin formation, thereby preventing the colonization of fungi or bacteria as well as the formation of biofilms.
