essential for the viability of M. tuberculosis and has been a promising therapeutic target for new anti-TB agents. Herein, we report the discovery of pyridine-2-methylamine antitubercular compounds using a structure-based drug design strategy. Compound 62 stands out as the most potent compound with high activity against M. tb strain H37Rv (MIC = 0.016 μg/mL) as well as the clinically isolated strains
