“…Compound (16) exhibited MIC99 of 0.19 μM and 0.09 μM against MTB and MDR-TB, respectively and decreased the bacterial load in lung and spleen tissues with 1.91 and 2.91-log10 protections, respectively, in the in vivo animal model at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight [105][106][107]. Compound (17) decreased the bacterial load in lung and spleen tissues with 2.54 and 2.92-log10 protections [111], while (18) decreased the bacterial load by 30% and 42%, respectively, at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight [105][106][107]. In an effort to increase the antitubercular potency of quinolones, 1-(cyclopropyl/2,4-difluorophenyl/tert-butyl)-1,4-dihydro-8-methyl-6-nitro-4-oxo-7-(substitutedsecondary-amino)quinoline-3-carboxylic acids.…”
