description <p>A series of benzyl, phenyl guanidine, and aminoguandine hydrazone derivatives was designed and in vitro antibacterial activities against two different bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus&nbsp;and&nbsp;Escherichia coli) were determined. Several compounds showed potent inhibitory activity against the bacterial strains evaluated, with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the low &micro;g/mL range. Of all guanidine derivatives, 3-[2-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)]-benzyloxy derivative&nbsp;<strong>9m</strong>&nbsp;showed the best potency with MICs of 0.5 &micro;g/mL (S. aureus) and 1 &micro;g/mL (E. coli), respectively. Several aminoguanidine hydrazone derivatives also showed good overall activity. Compounds&nbsp;<strong>10a</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>10j</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>10r</strong>&ndash;<strong>s</strong>&nbsp;displayed MICs of 4 &micro;g/mL against both&nbsp;S. aureus&nbsp;and&nbsp;E. coli. In the aminoguanidine hydrazone series, 3-(4-trifluoromethyl)-benzyloxy derivative&nbsp;<strong>10d</strong>&nbsp;showed the best potency against&nbsp;S. aureus&nbsp;(MIC 1 &micro;g/mL) but was far less active against&nbsp;E. coli&nbsp;(MIC 16 &micro;g/mL). Compound&nbsp;<strong>9m</strong>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;para-substituted derivative&nbsp;<strong>9v</strong>&nbsp;also showed promising results against two strains of methicillin-resistant&nbsp;Staphylococcus aureus&nbsp;(MRSA). These results provide new and potent structural leads for further antibiotic optimisation strategies.</p>
