Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to remain one of the most threatening diseases in the world. With the emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) strains, the need to develop new therapies is dire. The syntheses of a focused library of hydroxamates and hydroxamic acids is described, as well as anti-TB activity in the microplate alamar blue assay (MABA). A number of compounds exhibited good activity against Mtb, with notable compounds exhibiting MIC values in the range of 20-0.71 μM. This work suggests that both hydroxamates and their free acids may be incorporated into more complex scaffolds and serve as potential leads for the development of anti-TB agents.Entities:
