Some compounds, characterized by phenylethenyl moiety, such as methyl cinnamate and caffeic acid phenethyl ester, are able to inhibit C. albicans biofilm formation. On these bases, and as a consequence of our previous work, we synthesized a series of cinnamoyl ester and amide derivatives in order to evaluate them for the activity against C. albicans biofilm and planlctonically grown cells.The most active compounds 7 and 8 showed >> 50% biofilm inhibition concentrations (BMIC50) of 2 mu g/mL and 4 mu g/mL respectively, against C albicans biofilm formation; otherwise, 7 showed an interesting activity also against mature biofilm, with BMIC50 of 8 mu g/mL.
