Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to antimicrobial compounds and, more specifically, to a new class of furanones having reduced toxicity while inhibiting biofilm formation.2. Description of the Related ArtMany diseases are related to the persistent presence of films hosting bacteria. Brominated furanones are a class of molecules that are effective for controlling bacteria behavior and, in particular, inhibiting the formation of biofilms, and thus could be used to control infectious diseases and other biofilm related problems. One major setback with known brominated furanones, however, is their toxicity. Accordingly, there is a need for compounds that inhibit biofilm formation but are less toxic than known brominated furanones.The ...
