| Abstract: | A series of 6‐chloro‐3‐(4‐alkylphenyl)‐4‐thioxo‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2(3H)‐ones, 7‐chloro‐3‐(4‐alkylphenyl)‐4‐thioxo‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2(3H)‐ones, 6‐bromo‐3‐(4‐alkylphenyl)‐4‐thioxo‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2(3H)‐ones, 6,8‐dibromo‐3‐(4‐alkylphenyl)‐4‐thioxo‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2(3H)‐ones, 6‐chloro‐3‐(4‐alkylphenyl)‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2,4(3H)‐dithiones, 7‐chloro‐3‐(4‐alkylphenyl)‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2,4(3H)‐dithiones, 6‐bromo‐3‐(4‐alkylphenyl)‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2,4(3H)‐dithiones and 6,8‐dibromo‐3‐(4‐alkylphenyl)‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2,4(3H)‐dithiones was synthesized. The compounds exhibited in‐vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. kansasii (two strains), and M. avium. 6‐bromo‐3‐(4‐propylphenyl)‐4‐thioxo‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazin‐2(3H)‐one and 6‐bromo‐3‐(4‐propylphenyl)‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazin‐2,4(3H)‐dithione are the most active compounds against M. tuberculosis. The activity is similar to isoniazid (INH). The compounds under study have a broad spectrum of activity against potential pathogenic strains. The replacement of the oxo group by thioxo group of 3‐(4‐alkylphenyl)‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2,4(3H)‐diones often led to an improvement in the antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis. |
