Abstract: The present invention provides novel compounds of Formula (I?) and (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, polymorphs, co-crystals, tautomers, stereoisomers, isotopically labeled derivatives, prodrugs, and compositions thereof. Also provided are methods and kits involving the inventive compounds or compositions for killing a microorganism (e.g., bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, or multicellular parasites), the prevention and/or treatment of infectious diseases (e.g., infections by microorganisms, bacterial infection, cystic fibrosis infection, foreign body infection, urinary tract infection (UTI), or infections leading to biofilms), controlling and/or eradicating biofilms (e.g., bacterial biofilms), preventing biofilm formation, sterilizing a surface, and/or eradicating persister cells (e.g., in a subject in need thereof or in a subject involving a biofilm).

Abstract: The present invention provides halogenated quinoline derivatives, such as compounds of Formula (I) or (I?), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and methods of preparing the halogenated quinoline derivatives. The halogenated quinoline derivatives are expected to be antimicrobial agents and may act through an iron(II)-dependent mode of action. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions, kits, uses, and methods that involve the halogenated quinoline derivatives and may be useful in preventing or treating a microbial infection (e.g., a bacterial infection) in a subject, inhibiting the growth and/or reproduction of a microorganism (e.g., a bacterium), killing a microorganism (e.g., a bacterium), inhibiting the formation and/or growth of a biofilm, reducing or removing a biofilm, and/or disinfecting a surface.
