1-Substituted-5-[(3,5-dinitrobenzyl)sulfanyl]-1H-tetrazoles and their isosteric analogs: A new class of selective antitubercular agents active against drug-susceptible and multidrug-resistant mycobacteria
In this work, a newclass of highly potent antituberculosis agents, 1-substituted-5-[(3,5-dinitrobenzyl)sulfanyl]-1H-tetrazoles and their oxa and selanyl analogs, is described. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values reached 1 μM (0.36–0.44 μg/mL) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis CNCTC My 331/88 and 0.25–1 μM against six multidrug-resistant clinically isolated strains of M. tuberculosis
