- Benzylamines: Synthesis and evaluation of antimycobacterial properties
-
The synthesis of benzylamines with various N-alkyl chains and substituents in the aromatic system as well as their evaluation on Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37 Ra are described. The most active compounds in this test, N-methyl-3-chlorobenzylamine (MIC 10.2 μg/mL), N-methyl-3,5-dichlorobenzylamine (93, MIC 10.2 μg/mL), and N-butyl-3,5-difluorobenzylamine (MIC 6.4 μg/mL), also exhibited a marked inhibitory effect on Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium lufu used for the determination of antileprotic properties. The combination of 93 with aminosalicylic acid, streptomycin, or dapsone exert marked supra-additive effects on M. tuberculosis H 37 Ra.
