“…in applications in organic electronics and photonics (Perepichka & Perepichka, 2009) and in the medical area. In the latter context, the thiophene nucleus is present in many natural and synthetic products having a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as anti-viral (Chan et al, 2004), anti-cancer (Romagnoli et al, 2011), anti-bacterial (Sivadas et al, 2011;Jain et al, 2012), anti-fungal (Jain et al, 2012;Saeed et al, 2010), anti-inflammatory (Kumar et al, 2004) and anti-microbial and anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) activities (Abdel-Aal et al, 2010). Our interests in the biological activities and structural chemistry of heterocyclic compounds have led us to investigate thiophene and its derivatives as tuberculostatic agents.…”
