3.5 Biofilm Activity<br />

The preliminary results from our lab the basic compound (A) with a non-substituted<br />

phenyl group at the C(5) position of the imidazole ring shows a moderate biofilm<br />

inhibitory activity (IC50 = 130 µM). Interestingly, substitution of the para- position of<br />

the phenyl ring with a chlorine (B) atom enhances the biofilm inhibitory activity<br />

about ten times (IC50 = 16 µM).<br />

In an attempt to improve their biofilm inhibitory activity, we substituted the N1position<br />

of some of the para-substituted 4(5)-phenyl-2-aminoimidazoles with n-alkyl<br />

and cyclo-alkyl groups by using our previously established chemistry.<br />
