Biofilm formation in pathogenic bacteria is an important factor of resistance to antimicrobial treatments, allowing them to survive for a long time in their hosts. In the search for new antibiofilm agents, in this work we report the activity of a copper (I) complex, [Cu(NN 1 ) 2 ]ClO 4 , synthesized with Cu (I) and NN1, an imine ligand 6-((quinolin-2-ylmethylene)amino)-2H-chromen-2-one, a derivate of natural compound coumarin. The antibacterial and antibiofilm capacity was evaluated in  Vibrio harveyi  BB170 used as model bacteria. Antibacterial activity was measured in vitro by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) determination. Antibiofilm capacity of copper (I) complex was analyzed by different concentrations of IC 50  values. The results showed that the sub-IC 50  concentration, 12.6 µg/mL of the copper (I) complex, was able to reduce biofilm formation by more than 75%, and bacterial viability was reduced by 50%. Inverted and confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that the [Cu(NN 1 ) 2 ]ClO 4  complex affected the biofilm structure. Therefore, the copper (I) complex is effective as an antibiofilm compound in  V. harveyi  BB170.
