Daphnetin weakened the pathogenicity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by inhibiting Sortase A and α-hemolysin.

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, represented by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), has necessitated a shift towards anti-virulence strategies in treatment approaches. This research demonstrated that daphnetin effectively disrupted MRSA virulence by targeting Sortase A (SrtA), an enzyme in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) responsible for adhesion and invasion, as well as the toxin α-hemolysin (Hla) that leads to cell lysis. Utilizing Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer, daphnetin showed direct inhibitory effect on SrtA activity, with an IC
