International audience. Adherent-invasive Escherichia coil (AIEC) have previously been shown to induce gut inflammation in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). We developed a set of mannosides to prevent AIEC attachment to the gut by blocking the FimH bacterial adhesin. The crystal structure of the FimH lectin domain in complex with a lead thiazolylaminomannoside highlighted the preferential position for pharmacomodulations. A small library of analogues showing nanomolar affinity for FimH was then developed. Notably, AIEC attachment to intestinal cells was efficiently prevented by the most active compound and at around 10000-fold and 100-fold lower concentrations than mannose and the potent FimH inhibitor heptylmannoside, respectively. An ex vivo assay performed on the colonic tissue of a transgenic mouse model of CD confirmed this antiadhesive potential. Given the key role of AIEC in the chronic intestinal inflammation of CD patients, these results suggest a potential antiadhesive treatment with the FimH inhibitors developed.
