In an effort to develop potent new antituberculous drugs effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we have prepared series of cinnamic derivatives (thioesters and amides) with 4-hydroxy and 4-alkoxy groups and investigated the in vitro activities of these compounds. Among them some displayed a good in vitro antibacterial activity, such as (E)-N-(2-acetamidoethyl)-3-4-[(E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienyloxy]phenyl} acrylamide 4b that showed a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.1 mu g/mL (0.26 mu M) against M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
