    Abstract:
    We report herein the discovery of 3,5-dinitrophenyl 1,2,4-triazoles with excellent and selective antimycobacterial activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, including clinically isolated multidrug-resistant strains. Thorough structure–activity relationship studies of 3,5-dinitrophenyl-containing 1,2,4-triazoles and their trifluoromethyl analogues revealed the key role of the position of the 3,5-dinitrophenyl fragment in the antitubercular efficiency. Among the prepared compounds, the highest in vitro antimycobacterial activities against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and against seven clinically isolated multidrug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis were found with S-substituted 4-alkyl-5-(3,5-dinitrophenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols and their 3-nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl analogues. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of these compounds reached 0.03 μM, which is superior to all the current first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Furthermore, almost all compounds with excellent antimycobacterial activities exhibited very low in vitro cytotoxicities against two proliferating mammalian cell lines. The docking study indicated that these compounds acted as the inhibitors of decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribofuranose 2′-oxidase enzyme, which was experimentally confirmed by two independent radiolabeling experiments.

    The compounds studied are propylthiadiazoloquinazoline derivatives, tryptanthrin analogs. Tryptantrin and its derivatives were found to have different antimycobacterial activity in vitro and in vivo. This series of experiments is devoted to the study of antimycobacterial activity of three propylthiadiazoloquinazoline derivatives obtained in the laboratory of organic synthesis and Biopharmaceutics of the Institute of Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences in Moldova using a non-tuberculous strain of Mycobacterium intracellulare, which is a part of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). Species of the MAC are one of the main pathogen types causing mycobacteriosis. In this regard, propylthiadiazoloquinazoline derivatives are of interest for a comprehensive study as a potential antimycobacterial drug. To study antimycobacterial activity the method of dilutions in a dense nutrient medium of Middlebrook 7H9 broth with glycerol in Petri dishes was used. To assess antimycobacterial activity visual assessment of M. intracellulare growth in a solid nutrient medium was used. It is shown that the compounds studied inhibit M. Intracellulare growth. The most active compound was compound № 1 - 2-mercapto-5H-[1,3,4]-thiadiazolo-[2,3-b]-quinazoline-5-one.

    A series of 14 hydrochlorides of piperidinylethyl esters of orthosubstituted phenylcarbamic acids were evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against the strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobactenum kansasii and Mycobactenum avium. In vitro antimycobacterial activrty becomes higher with increasing hydrophobicity of the substituents. The alkoxy group is not necessary in order for the basic ethyl esters of phenylcarbamic acids to display antimycobacterial activity.

    According to our previous study 29 derivatives of 2-hydroxy-3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)-propylphenylcarbamates were tested for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against potential pathogenic strains Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium avium. The variations in group of compounds were by the substitution on phenyl rings. The Free-Wilson method was used to evaluate structure-antimycobacterial activity relationships. The advantage of compounds under study is in the activity against M. kansasii.

    Antimycobacterial effects of thiosemicarbazones were discovered in the late 1940s. The best known representative of these compounds is thioacetazone that has been used in the therapy of tuberculosis since the turn of the 1940s and 1950s. At present, it is used only rarely since it exhibits severe side effects. This paper deals with the antimycobacterial effects of thiosemicarbazones and N,N-dimethylthiosemicarbazones derived from 5-alkyl-2-acetylpyrazines. Some of these compounds displayed high inhibition of the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, but were excluded from the in vivo studies due to their cytotoxic effects. Nonetheless, they can be used as model compounds for studying the mechanisms of antimycobacterial action of thiosemicarbazones.

    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.

    Tuberculosis constitutes a serious public health problem because it has multi-resistant forms that require treatment that is both difficult and extensive. There is a need to develop new antimycobacterial compounds, and plants represent a source of therapeutic resources. This study analyzed antimycobacterial action in eight extracts from plants found in the Brazilian Cerrado. The results showed significant inhibitory concentrations in relation to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, especially from the extracts of Apuleia molaris and Ouratea spectabilis, both of which presented reduced cytotoxic effects. Fractionation revealed a hexane fraction of A. molaris with significant and promising activity regarding future in vivo assays.
