Abstract: A number of thiophen-2(5H)-ones with different substituents in the 3-, 4- and 5-position have been synthesized and tested as inhibitors of biofilm production by the marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi BB120. Concentrations that inhibited 50% or 90% of biofilm formation (BIC₅₀, BIC₉₀) and of plantonic growth (PIC₅₀, PIC₉₀) are reported.
