Description
Summary:This diploma thesis is devoted to antituberculosis drugs research. A very briefly depicts of genus Mycobacterium, structure and composition of mycobacterial cell wall allowed here better process and determination of mechanisms of antituberculosis drugs targets. The synthesis selected derivates of pyridine sulfides: 4- (phenethylsulfanyl)pyridine-2-carbonitriles are the main aim of the diploma thesis. As well as a possible mechanism of action these substances is discussed. Thus a series of 4-(phenethylsulfanyl)pyridine-2-carbonitriles were synthesized. The structures were confirmed by IR spectra, NMR spectra and elementary analyses. Antimycobacterial activities these compounds were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium kansasii. None of prepared substances exhibited activity (against M. tuberculosis) comparable to clinical used antituberculosis drugs. Significant activity was observed (in compare with isoniazide) against M. kansasii and M. avium.
