The present invention relates to a 4-gingerol derivative compound, or a racemate, isomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the compound being capable of inhibiting biofilm formation and production of virulence factors. The 4-gingerol derivative compound according to the present invention has binding affinity to RhlR and corresponding RhlR antagonism activity that are significantly improved, and therefore can effectively inhibit biofilm formation and production of virulence factors. Furthermore, various bacterial infectious diseases caused by biofilms can be fundamentally prevented or treated by using a pharmaceutical composition comprising the 4-gingerol derivative compound, or a racemate, isomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient. |
