Search of antimycobacterial activities in hybrid molecules with benzopyran skeleton

摘要

A series of hybrid molecules (7–9, 12, 13, and 14–18) consisting of chromans and pyrolidines or cyclic amines were prepared either by (3 + 2) cycloaddition of nitrostyrenes and azomethine ylide or by three component reactions of chromanyl aldehydes, acetylenes, and cyclic amines. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated against both avirulent (H37Ra) and virulent (H37Rv) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Out of all the compounds screened, compounds 16, 17, and 18 were found to be active against the virulent strain M. tubercolosis H37Rv displaying MIC in the range of 6.25–1.56 μg/ml against.
