Synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of new 2-hydroxy-N-(3-oxo-1-thia-4-azaspiro[4.4]non-4-yl)/(3-oxo-1-thia-4-azaspiro[4.5]dec-4-yl)-2,2-diphenylacetamide derivatives

Abstract

2-Hydroxy-2,2-diphenylacetohydrazide (2), cyclic ketones, and mercaptoalkanoic acids were converted into 2-hydroxy-N-(3-oxo-1-thia-4-azaspiro[4.4] non/ [4.5] dee-4-yl)-2,2-diphenylacetamide derivatives (3, 4) in a one pot procedure. Compounds 3 and 4 were tested for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The compounds were found to provide 0-86% inhibition of mycobacterial growth in the primary screen conducted at 6.25 mu g/cm(3).
