Abstract: The present invention relates to substituted 5-aryl-2-aminoimidiazole compounds being active against microbial biofilm formation. The invention also relates to compositions comprising a microbial biofilm inhibiting amount of said substituted 5-aryl-2-aminoimidiazole compounds in combination with excipients. Methods for inhibiting or controlling microbial biofilm formation in a plant, a body part of a human or an animal, or a surface with which a human or an animal may come into contact are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to substituted 2-aminoimidazoles and their imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts precursors being active against biofilm formation. The invention also relates to imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts bearing an azidoalkyl substituent, and to substituted 2-aminoimidazoles wherein the amino group bears a terminal heterocyclic group such as a triazolyl group which are formed through azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition starting from said imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts bearing an azidoalkyl substituent. The invention also relates to a class of N-(azidoalkyl)pyrimidin-2-amines useful as starting materials for the synthesis of said imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts bearing an azidoalkyl substituent. The invention also relates to antimicrobial compositions that include a microbial biofilm formation inhibiting amount of such substituted 2-aminoimidazoles or imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts in combination with excipients.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a novel method and kit system for the detection of solid-phase bound primary amines, secondary amines, or thiol groups comprising adding a fluid to said substrate and further comprising adding a novel reagents to said substrate and recording a colour reaction on said substrate that comprise said amine or said thiol groups. The method and kit of present invention can be used for the quantitative determination of organic substituents with primary or secondary amines or with thiol groups immobilized on or in insoluble materials.
