Description

2-(Benzofuran-3-yl)ethanamine (ZBFEA) is a novel synthetic derivative of the natural product 2-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanamine. It has been shown to be effective against multiresistant bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin resistant strains. ZBFEA inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the ribosomal protein S12 and preventing protein synthesis. This compound has also been shown to have fluorescent properties, which may be useful for its use as a diagnostic agent in live bacterial cultures.
