主　　题：antimicrobial booster oligoamidine membrane disruption DNA targeting triggered degradation anti-resistance 

摘      要：The global antibiotic resistance crisis necessitates urgent *** innovative approach involves potentiating antibiotics and non-antibiotic drugs with adjuvants or boosters.A major drawback of these membrane-active boosters is their limited biocompatibility,as they struggle to differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic *** study reports the chemical biology investigation of a dual-action oligoamidine(OA1)booster with a glutathione-triggered decomposition ***1,when combined with other antimicrobial molecules,exhibits a triple-targeting mechanism including cell membrane disruption,DNA targeting,and intracellular enzyme *** multi-targeting mechanism not only enhances the in vitro and in vivo eradication of antibiotic-resistant“ESKAPEpathogens,but also suppresses the development of bacterial ***,OA1 maintains its activity in bacterial cells by creating an oxidative environment,while it quickly decomposes in mammalian cells due to high glutathione *** mechanistic insights and design principles may provide a feasible approach to develop novel antimicrobial agents and effective anti-resistance combination therapies.
