to develop novel antimycobacterial agents, a new series of thiazolidinone-azole hybrids 4a-b, 5a-b and 6-13 were designed and synthesized. thiazolidin-4-ones (4a-b and 5a-b) were obtained by the reaction of schiff bases and hydrazones (2a-b and 3a-b) with mercaptoacetic acid. 5-benzylidene derivatives (6-13) were gained by treatment of 5a-b with appropriate benzaldehydes according to knoevenage...
