This document summarizes research presented at the XXVII Brazilian Congress in Biomedical Engineering on developing new drugs from maleimides to combat bacteria in tambaqui fish. Key findings include: - Synthesis and characterization of methyl 4-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl) benzoate, which achieved 68% yield and was supported by NMR and mass spectrometry data. - Determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum bactericidal concentrations of compounds against A. jandaei and A. hydrophila, with compounds B, C, D, and E showing potential antimicrobial activity. - Evaluation of toxicity risks
