All the title compounds were tested for their in‐vitro antimycobacterialactivity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using Alamar‐Blue susceptibility test, and the activity is expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in μg/mL. Among the series, compounds 2b, 2g, 3b, and 3g displayed an encouraging antimycobacterialactivity profile as compared to that of the reference drugs isoniazid

A series of isonicotinyl hydrazones and their 4-thiazolidinones have been synthesized by condensation of isonicotinic acid hydrazide with various aromatic aldehydes to yield Schiff's bases, followed by the cyclocondensation of Schiff's bases with 2-mercaptoacetic acid to yield their 4-thiazolidinones. The synthesized compounds have been characterized by their elemental, analytical and spectral studies. All these compounds were evaluated for their invitro antimicrobial activity against a spectrum of non-resistant and resistant microbial organisms. These studies proved that compounds 5e,i against B. subtilis; 5e,f,h against B. anthracis; 5g,i against S. aureus showed good activity at lower concentrations. Compounds 5d-5i displayed significant activity against resistant strain of K. pneumonia with minimum inhibitory potency in the concentration range of 2-16 ug/ml.
