Provided herein are oxazolidinone derivatives that can exhibit anti-microbial activity and/or activity as biofilm modulating agents (e.g., activity as biofilm inhibitors and/or activity as biofilm dispersal agents). The compounds can exhibit potent activity anti-microbial activity (e.g., potent activity against Gram-positive positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). The compounds can exhibit potent activity against biofilms. In some cases, the compounds can exhibit both anti-microbial activity and biofilm modulation properties.
