“…The MTT measured viability of mycobacterial cells less than 70% after exposure to the MIC values for each tested compound is considered as a positive result of this assay. This low level of cell viability indicates inhibition of cell growth by inhibition of respiration [ 45 , 46 ]. It can be concluded that compounds 12 (R = 3,5-Cl, 27%), 13 (R = 3,5-CF 3 , 6%), 19 (R = 5-CF 3 -3-F, 41%), 20 (R = 5-CF 3 -2-Cl, 5%), and 21 (R = 4-CF 3 -3-F, 46%) showed the viability of M. tuberculosis that was significantly less than 70% at the tested concentration equal to MICs [ 47 ].…”
