Using novel hybrid molecules for the treatment of tuberculosis is one of the latest approaches. Keeping this concept in mind, thirty two hybrid compounds were synthesized, with pyrrole as one of the moieties, clubbed to coumarin, ibuprofen and isoniazid. The compounds were evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Compounds 7e and 8e exhibited MIC of 3.7 and 5.10 μg mL-1 and growth inhibition of 95% and 92%, respectively. These compounds were also active against single drug resistant bacterial strains. The compounds were devoid of cytotoxicity when tested against Vero African green monkey kidney cell line. Docking study was carried out on enoyl acyl carrier protein enzyme to provide some understanding into the mechanism of action of these compounds.
