Membrane-Permeabilizing Activity of Reverse-Amide 2-Aminoimidazole Antibiofilm Agents Against Acinetobacter baumannii
CURRENT DRUG DELIVERY, 12(2), 223–230.
author keywords: 2-aminoimidazole; Acinetobacter baumannii; biofilm; membrane permeabilization; reverse amide; SEM
MeSH headings : Acinetobacter baumannii / drug effects; Amides / chemistry; Anti-Bacterial Agents / chemistry; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Biofilms / drug effects; Cell Membrane Permeability / drug effects; Cells, Cultured; Cross Infection; Imidazoles / chemistry; Imidazoles / pharmacology; Microbial Sensitivity Tests
TL;DR:
A model is proposed that describes how the structure of RA-2AI allows it to insert itself into and disrupt the fluidity of the membrane, creating an opportunity for increased molecular permeability.

Identification of BfmR, a Response Regulator Involved in Biofilm Development, as a Target for a 2-Aminoimidazole-Based Antibiofilm Agent
BIOCHEMISTRY, 51(49), 9776–9778.
MeSH headings : Acinetobacter baumannii / drug effects; Acinetobacter baumannii / growth & development; Bacterial Proteins / chemistry; Bacterial Proteins / physiology; Biofilms / drug effects; Imidazoles / pharmacology; Microscopy, Confocal; Models, Molecular
TL;DR:
The 2AI compound studied here represents a unique small molecule scaffold that targets bacterial response regulators and is cell permeable, while pull-down assays identified BfmR, a response regulator that is the master controller of biofilm formation, as a target for this compound.

Synthesis of Guanidinium Functionalized Polycarbodiimides and Their Antibacterial Activities
ACS MACRO LETTERS, 1(3), 370–374.
TL;DR:
These polycarbodiimide-guanidinium-triazole conjugates offered moderate to significant antibacterial activity and rapid interaction with red blood cells causing blood precipitation without significant hemolysis in case of Poly-2(b-e).

Evaluation of 4,5-Disubstituted-2-Aminoimidazole-Triazole Conjugates for Antibiofilm/Antibiotic Resensitization Activity Against MRSA and Acinetobacter baumannii
CHEMMEDCHEM, 6(12), 2243–2251.
author keywords: aminoimidazoles; antibiotic resensitization; biofilms; MRSA; synergism
MeSH headings : Acinetobacter baumannii / drug effects; Acinetobacter baumannii / physiology; Anti-Bacterial Agents / chemical synthesis; Anti-Bacterial Agents / chemistry; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Biofilms / drug effects; Imidazoles / chemistry; Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus / drug effects; Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus / physiology; Oxacillin / chemistry; Oxacillin / pharmacology; Structure-Activity Relationship; Triazoles / chemistry
TL;DR:
This class of small molecules was found to inhibit biofilm formation by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at low‐micromolar concentrations and the ability of selected compounds to resensitize MRSA to traditional antibiotics (resensitization activity) was determined.
