Herein, we describe indole-based analogues of oroidin as a novel class of 2-aminoimidazole-based inhibitors of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation and, to the best of our knowledge, the first reported 2-aminoimidazole-based inhibitors of Streptococcus mutans biofilm formation. This study highlighted the indole moiety as a dibromopyrrole mimetic for obtaining inhibitors of S. aureus and S. mutans biofilm formation. The most potent compound in the series, 5-(trifluoromethoxy) indole-based analogue 4b (MBIC50 = 20 mu M), emerged as a promising hit for further optimisation of novel inhibitors of S. aureus and S. mutans biofilms.
