adhesin inhibitors

How do Adhesin Inhibitors Work?


The primary mechanism of action for adhesin inhibitors is the blockade of the interaction between pathogen adhesins and host cell receptors. These inhibitors may mimic the structure of the receptor to competitively bind to the adhesin, or they can alter the adhesin structure to reduce its affinity for the host cell. Consequently, the pathogen is unable to secure a foothold, preventing colonization and subsequent invasion of host tissues.
