Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Cinnamic Acid-Based Antimicrobials.

ABSTRACT: The main antimicrobial resistance (AMR) nosocomial strains (ESKAPE pathogens such as Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.) are the most widespread bacteria in cutaneous infections. In this work we report the synthesis, in silico skin permeability prediction, antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and wound healing properties of novel cinnamic acid-based antimicrobials (DM1-11) as novel antibacterial drugs for the treatment of ESKAPE-related skin infections. Antimicrobial and wound healing scratch assays were performed to evaluate the antibacterial properties of DM1-11. In silico skin permeability capabilities of DM1-11 were evaluated using Swiss-ADME online database. Cytotoxicity assays were performe
