A group of 26 new 2-halogeno-6-alkylsulfanyl- and 2,6-bis-alkylsulfanyl-4-amidopyridines and corresponding thioamidopyridines was synthesised. Some of the amidopyridines and all thioamidopyridines were tested for their antimycobacterial activity against atypical mycobacterial strains. Promising photosynthesis-inhibiting activity was also found for some of the amidopyridines.
