biological activity | 2-aminomidazole is a potent anti-biofilm agent that can be used as an antibacterial adjuvant. 2-aminomidazole destroys the ability of bacteria to self-protect by inhibiting biofilm formation and gene-encoded antibiotic resistance profiles. 2-aminomidazole is also a weak non-competitive human arginase I (human arginase I) inhibitor with a Ki value of 3.6 mM. |
Target | bacteria Ki: 3.6 (human arginine I) |
