Due to their multiprotein composition, protein-protein interactions are a particularly important process in secretion system assembly and function; consequently, protein-protein interactions could be a target to be exploited for the development of novel peptidomimetics with anti-virulence activity. Nal-P-113 appears to exert anti-biofilm activity against I Porphyromonas gingivalis i W83 biofilms through different mechanisms, dependent on peptide concentrations ([147]). Recently, functionalized proline-rich peptides with the capacity to bind selectively to c-di-GMP showed anti-biofilm activity against I P. aeruginosa i biofilms ([33]). The peptides were assayed to evaluate their biofilm inhibitory capacity, and Ac-Gup-Gup-Nap-Arg-NH2 and Ac-Nap-Gup-Gup-Nap-Arg-NH2 were the most active peptides (Table 2; [33]).
