Antimycobacterial Activity and Low Cytotoxicity of Leaf Extracts of Some African Anacardiaceae Tree Species.
Treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is a challenge because of multidrug-resistant and extremely drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Plant species contain antimicrobial compounds that may lead to new anti-TB drugs. Previous screening of some tree species from the Anacardiaceae family revealed the presence of antimicrobial activity, justifying further investigations. Leaf extracts of...

متن کاملAntimycobacterial activity of salicylanilide benzenesulfonates.
A series of eighteen novel esters of salicylanilides with benzenesulfonic acid were designed, synthesized and characterized by IR, ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR. They were evaluated in vitro as potential antimycobacterial agents towards Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium and two strains of Mycobacterium kansasii. In general, the minimum inhibitory concentrations range from 1 to 500 µmol/L. Th...
متن کاملSynthesis and Antimycobacterial Activity of 2-(Phenylthio) benzoylarylhydrazone Derivatives
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 blu...
