A library of 4,5-disubstituted 2-aminoimidazole triazole amide (2-AITA) conjugates has been successfully assembled. Upon biological screening, this class of small molecules was discovered as enhanced biofilm regulators through non-microbicidal mechanisms against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB), with active concentrations in the low micromolar range. The library was also subjected to synergism and resensitization studies with β-lactam antibiotics against MRSA. Lead compounds were identified that suppress the antibiotic resistance of MRSA by working synergistically with oxacillin, a β-lactam antibiotic resistant to penicillinase. A further structure-activity relationship (SAR) study on the parent 2-AITA compound delivered a 2-aminoimidazole diamide (2-AIDA) conjugate with significantly increased synergistic activity with oxacillin against MRSA, decreasing the MIC value of the β-lactam antibiotic by 64-fold. Increased anti-biofilm activity did not necessarily lead to increased suppression of antibiotic resistance, which indicates that biofilm inhibition and resensitization are most likely occurring via distinct mechanisms.

This paper reports some studies aiming at the developement of a general protocol useful for the synthesis of allyl- and prenylaromatic compounds. The first part deals with, the preparation of boron reagents like arylboronic acids and their pinacol esters as well as of pinacol allyl- and prenylboronates. The second part of the paper is devoted to the use of these boron reagents in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions leading to allylation and prenylation of aromatic compounds. Of the six methods studied, the most promising re-suits were obtained by using the Pd2(dba)3-catalyzed reactions of arylboronic acids with allyl and prenyl bromides, that lead to the products of cross coupling in high yields (average 87%), and the reactions of aryl trifluoroborates with allyl and prenyl bromides catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 that lead to the products of coupling in all cases in high yields (average 82%).
