“…This study is a continuation of our research work in the design and preparation of the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound 'Indolizine' as an anti-TB agent. Indolizines are prime focussed due to their interest in synthetic chemistry (Lakshmikanth et al, 2023;Sandeep et al, 2013aSandeep et al, , 2014Sumanth et al, 2023;Venugopala et al, 2018) with medicinal applications like tuberculosis (Khedr et al, 2018;Sandeep Chandrashekharappa et al, 2019;Venugopala, Tratrat, Pillay, et al, 2019), antioxidant (Vijayakumar Uppar, 2020), anticancer , anti-microbial (Sandeep et al, 2013b;Uppar et al, 2021;Vijayakumar Uppar, 2020), anti-inflammatory (Chandrashekharappa, Venugopala, Tratrat, et al, 2018;Sandeep et al, 2017;, larvicidal (Chandrashekharappa, Venugopala, Nayak, et al, 2018;Uppar et al, 2020) and NmeNANAS inhibitor (Alwassil et al, 2019). In this work, we have designed, characterized and evaluated a series of morpholine-containing indolizine derivatives (5a-o) (Table 1) for their anti-tubercular potential.…”
