摘要:
In this communication, we synthesized a series of twenty four novel 3-(4-(substitutedsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)benzo[d]isoxazole analogues, characterized using various spectroscopic techniques and evaluated for their in vitro anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H(37)Rv strain. The titled compounds exhibited Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) between 3.125 and >50 mu g/mL. Among the tested compounds, 5c, 6a, 6j and 6p exhibited moderate activity (MIC = 12.5 mu g/mL), while Sa and 61 exhibited good activity (MIC = 6.25 mu g/mL) and 6b (MIC = 3.125 mu g/mL) exhibited very good antitubercular activity. In addition, the analogues 5a, Sc, 6a, 6b, 6i, 6j and 6p were subjected to toxicity studies against mouse macrophage (RAW 264.7) cell lines to analyse the selectivity profile of the newly synthesized compounds and selectivity index of the most active compound was found to be >130 indicating suitability of the compound for further drug development. Structure of 6b was further substantiated through single crystal XRD. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
