1,3-Azoles from ortho-naphthoquinones: synthesis of aryl substituted imidazoles and oxazoles and their potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Abstract
Twenty-three naphthoimidazoles and six naphthoxazoles were synthesised and evaluated against susceptible and rifampicin- and isoniazid-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Among all the compounds evaluated, fourteen presented MIC values in the range of 0.78 to 6.25 μg/mL against susceptible and resistant strains of M. tuberculosis. Five structures were solved by X-ray crystallographic analysis. These substances are promising antimycobacterial prototypes.
