Abstract

The compound QD-19 to QD-21 demonstrated a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.25 µg/ml against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

  • Twenty-one new derivatives of 1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-ylmethyl-piperazin-1-yl-quinoline were synthesized and evaluated for their effectiveness against tuberculosis.
  • QD-18 showed a promising MIC value of 0.5 µg/ml, indicating strong antitubercular potential.
  • Compounds QD-19, QD-20, and QD-21 exhibited an even lower MIC value of 0.25 µg/ml.
  • These compounds were assessed for metabolic stability, cytotoxicity, and pharmacokinetics, confirming their safety and effectiveness.
  • The results suggest that QD-18, QD-19, QD-20, and QD-21 could serve as lead candidates for new antitubercular drugs.
