Towards smart biocide-free anti-biofilm strategies: Click-based synthesis of cinnamide analogues as anti-biofilm compounds against marine bacteria

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2018 Jan 15;28(2):155-159. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2017.11.039. Epub 2017 Nov 24.

Abstract

A set of triazole-based analogues of N-coumaroyltyramine was designed to discover potential leads that may help in the control of bacterial biofilms. the most potent compounds act as inhibitors of biofilm development with EC50 closed to ampicillin (EC50 = 11 μM) without toxic effect on bacterial growth even at high concentrations(100 μM).

Keywords: 1,3 Cycloadditions; Anti-biofilm; Bacteria; Click chemistry; Triazole.
