All targets (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC): 0.20–8.0 μg/mL) exhibited promising inhibitory activity against MTB H₃₇Rv and MDR‐TB. Among them, conjugate 5h (MIC: 0.20 μg/mL), was 2–16 times more potent in vitro than the references CPFX (MIC: 3.12 μg/mL), 8‐OMe CPFX (MIC: 1.56 μg/mL) and RIF (MIC: 0.39 μg/mL) against MTB H₃₇Rv. The most potent hybrid 5l (MIC: 0.25 μg/mL) was 8–256 times more active than the three references (MIC: 2.0–64 μg/mL) against MDR‐TB. Both of them warrant further investigations.     

Isatin‐(thio)semicarbazide/oxime‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazole‐coumarin Hybrids: Design,Synthesis, and in vitro Anti‐mycobacterial Evaluation

Isatin and coumarin derivatives with potential anti‐tubercular activity, while (thio)semicarbazide/oxime and 1H‐1,2,3‐triazole moieties exhibited favorable properties such as hydrogen bonding and/or metal chelation capability, so integration of the four pharmacophores into one molecule may provide more effective anti‐tubercular candidates. Based on the consideration earlier, 12 isatin‐(thio)semicarbazide/oxime‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazole‐coumarin hybrids 8a–l were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro anti‐mycobacterial activities against M. tuberculosis (MTB) H₃₇Rv and MDR‐TB. The results showed that all the hybrids (MIC: 50–>200 μg/mL) exhibited weak to moderate inhibitory activity against MTB H₃₇Rv and MDR‐TB, which were far less potent than the references isoniazid (MIC: 0.05 μg/mL) and rifampicin (MIC: 0.39 μg/mL) against MTB H₃₇Rv. The most active hybrid 8h (MIC: 50 μg/mL) was comparable with rifampicin (MIC: 32 μg/mL) and more active than isoniazid (MIC: >128 μg/mL) against MDR‐TB, could be act as a lead for further optimization. Moreover, the enriched structure–activity relationship paved the way to the further rational development of this kind of hybrids.
