The oral microbiome is a complex ecological niche where both commensal and pathogenic bacteria coexist. Previous reports have cited that the plant isolate honokiol is a potent inhibitor of S. mutans biofilms. Herein we report a cross-coupling method that provides access to a concise library of honokiol-inspired analogs. Through this work we determined that the inhibitory activity of honokiol is highly dependent on the growth conditions. Further, we identify a series of analogs that display significant potency against oral bacteria leading to the discovery of a potent antimicrobial.
