Synthesis and antitubercular activity of the nitrogen substituents of carbonylthicureas and carbonylthiosemicarbazides

Carbonyl thiourea 및 carbonyl thiosemicarbazide의 질소치환화합물의 합성 및 항결핵작용에 관한 연구

Sixteen compounds of N-aroyl-N'-(4'-alkoxyphenyl) thiourea derivative, twenty one compounds of N-aeryl-N'(3'-hydroxy-4'-alkoxycar-bonylphenyl) thiourea derivative, three compounds of N-aeroyl-N'-.alpha.-naphthyiourea derivative and three compounds of N-cyanoacetyl-N'-aroyl thiosemicarbazide derivative were syntrhesized as potential antitubercular agent and were subjected to screening test for antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium turberculosis H/sub 37/Rv by tube dilution method in vitro. Of the fourty three eompounds, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N'-(4'-iso-butoxyphenyl) thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N'-(4-n-amoxyphenyl)thiourea, N-furoyl-N'-(3'-hydroxy-4'-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N'-(3'-hydroxy-4'-n-butoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N'-(3'-hydroxy-4'-n-amoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea, and N-5-nitrofuroyl-N'(3'-hydroxy-4"-n-amoxycarbonylphrnyl)thiourea showed the growth inhibition of M. tuberculosis H/sub 37/Rv at the coccentraction og 10.mu.g/ml, respectively.
