We designed and synthesized analogues of a previously identified biofilm inhibitorIIIC5to improve solubility, retain inhibitory activities, and to facilitate encapsulation into pH-responsive hydrogel microparticles. The optimized lead compoundHA5showed improved solubility of 120.09 μg/mL, inhibitedStreptococcus mutansbiofilm with an IC50value of 6.42 μM, and did not affect the growth of oral commensal species up to a 15-fold higher concentration. The cocrystal structure ofHA5with GtfB catalytic domain determined at 2.35 Å resolution revealed its active site interactions. The ability ofHA5to inhibitS. mutansGtfs and to reduce glucan production has been demonstrated. The hydrogel-encapsulated biofilm inhibitor (HEBI), generated by encapsulatingHA5in hydrogel, selectively inhibitedS. mutansbiofilms likeHA5. Treatment ofS. mutans-infected rats withHA5orHEBIresulted in a significant reduction in buccal, sulcal, and proximal dental caries compared to untreated, infected rats.
