Creation and testing of new quinoline-based compounds as potential tuberculosis treatments

Abstract

Four quinoline-based carboxylic hydrazides demonstrated significant anti-tubercular activity with MIC values below 20 μg/mL.

  • The two most effective compounds, 6j and 6m, had MIC values of 7.70 and 7.13 μg/mL, respectively, against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
  • All tested compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against human lung fibroblast cells.
  • A structure-activity relationship analysis was conducted to understand how different substitutions affected anti-tubercular activity.
  • These findings suggest potential for further development of these hydrazides as anti-tubercular agents.
