N-Hydroxythiosemicarbazones: Synthesis and in vitro antitubercular activity
摘要:
N-Hydroxythiosemicarbazide was prepared by two methods starting from 2,4-dimethoxy benzyl amine and hydroxylamine hydrochloride, which in turn was reacted with various aldehydes and ketones to obtain the titled compounds. Eighteen compounds were tested for their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using the agar dilution method. Compound 10p was found to be the most potent compound (MIC: 0.28 mu M) and was 2.5 times more active than standard isoniazid. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The synthesis of the title compound (1) was accomplished by the conversion of 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine (2) into an isothiocyanate (3) using thiocarbonyl diimidazole. Treatment of 3 with hydroxylamine and removal of the DMB group with trifluoroacetic acid gave 1. N-Hydroxythiourea (1) showed no activity in the L1210 mouse tumor.
