  ABSTRACT: Antibiofilm activity of four hemibastadin analogues was evaluated against a clinical Candida albicans strain. Three of four analogues demonstrated significant antibiofilm effects, with EC50 values of 34.4 ± 9.6 µM for the most efficient. This most active compounds notably reduced both the biovolume and thickness of the biofilm. Importantly, antifungal susceptibility testing confirmed that the observed effects were specific to biofilm inhibition and not due to general antifungal activity. These results, comparable to those obtained with biofilms of marine Gram-negative bacteria, highlight the potential of hemibastadin analogues as promising lead compounds for the development of broad-spectrum antibiofilm including Candida albicans without exerting selective pressure for antimicrobial resistance.
