A set of 4‐benzylsulfanylpyridine‐2‐carbohydrazides was synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, non‐tuberculous mycobacteria, and multidrug‐resistant M. tuberculosis. The activities expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) fall into a range of 2 to 125 μmol/L, most often 4 to 32 μmol/L. The results revealed that the substituents
