Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health problem for which new therapeutic options are sorely needed. The ability of the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, to reside within host macrophages and form biofilm-like communities contributes to the persistent and drug-tolerant nature of the disease. Compounds that can prevent or reverse the biofilm-like phenotype have the potential to serve alongside TB antibiotics to overcome this tolerance, and decrease treatment duration. Using Mycobacterium smegmatis as a surrogate organism, we report the identification of two new 2-aminoimidazole compounds that inhibit and disperse mycobacterial biofilms, work synergistically with isoniazid and rifampicin to eradicate preformed M. smegmatis biofilms in vitro, are nontoxic toward Galleria mellonella, and exhibit stability in mouse plasma.
A novel synthesis of the 2-amino-1H-imidazol-4-carbaldehyde derivatives and its application to the efficient synthesis of 2-aminoimidazole alkaloids, oroidin, hymenidin, dispacamide, monobromodispacamide, and ageladine A

A novel synthesis of 2-amino-1H-imidazol-4-carbaldehyde derivatives was achieved by the reaction of tert-butoxycarbonylguanidine with 3-bromo-1,1-dimethoxypropan-2-one as a key step. The usefulness of the derivatives as building blocks was proved by accomplishing the efficient synthesis of the representative 2-aminoimidazole alkaloids, oroidin, hymenidin, dispacamide, monobromodispacamide, and ageladine A.
