Targeting bacterial biofilms: Design of a terpenoid-like library as non-toxic anti-biofilm compounds

A new class of anti-biofilm compounds possessing 1,4-disubstituted-(1H)-1,2,3-triazolic cores was designed. Their efficient synthesis was performed by means of click chemistry through 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. Two compounds were found to act as specific anti-biofilm agents against a gram negative species.
