A nitroenolate approach to the synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted-2-aminoimidazoles. Pilot library assembly and screening for antibiotic and antibiofilm activity

A library of 4,5-disubstituted-2-aminoimidazoles was synthesized using a nitroenolate route and then screened for antibiofilm and antimicrobial activity. These compounds displayed notable biofilm dispersal and planktonic microbicidal activity against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
