In the search for lead compounds for new drugs for tuberculosis, the activity of 38 synthetic chalcones were assayed for their potential inhibitory action towards a protein tyrosine phosphatase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis - PtpA. The compounds were obtained by aldolic condensation between aldehydes and acetophenones, under basic conditions. Five compounds presented moderate or good activity. The structure - activity analysis reveals that the predominant factor for the activity is the molecule planarity/hydrophobicity and the nature of the substituents. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
