A series of phenothiazine clubbed pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines have been synthesized by using the Biginelli multi-component cyclocondensation reaction and their ability to inhibit growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro have been determined. The results show that compounds 4b, 4d, and 4f exhibited excellent anti-tubercular activity with percentage inhibition of 93, 91, and 96, respectively, at a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of\6.25 lg/ml, whereas compounds 4a, 4c, 4e, 4g, and 4h exhibited moderate to good anti-tubercular activity with percentage inhibition of 75, 68, 74, 54, and 63, respectively at a MIC of [6.25 lg/ml.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
