Abstract
A series of new 2-(phenylthio) benzoylaryl hydrazones were synthesized by acid-catalyzed condensation of hydrazide 3 with corresponding aldehydes. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and Mass spectra. All newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimycobacterial activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using the microplate alamar blue assay (MABA). Compounds 4f (5-Nitro-2-furyl analogue) and 4g (5-Nitro-2-thienyl analogue) showed antimycobacterial activity with IC90, 7.57 and 2.96 µg/mL, respectively.
