Description
Summary:A series of 22 ( E)- N′-(monosubstituted-benzylidene)isonicotinohydrazide derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37Rv using Alamar Blue susceptibility test and the activity expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in μg/mL. Compounds 2f, 2g, 2j, 2k and 2q exhibited a significant activity (0.31–0.62 μg/mL) when compared with first line drugs such as isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIP) and could be a good starting point to develop new lead compounds in the fight against multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. A series of 22 N'-[( E)-(monosubstituted-phenyl)methylidene]isonicotinohydrazide derivatives ( 2a– v) have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37Rv using the Alamar Blue susceptibility test. ▪
