Abstract excerpt
We have recently found that 1-(2-benzoxazolyl)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-propanone [TF18] exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity among 30 trifluoromethyl ketones against various prokaryotes, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli). In the present study, the inhibition of E. coli motility by TF18 was investigated. TF18 showed the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and highest inhibitory effect on the...
