Abstract

A series of novel benzothiazinone derivatives containing a N-((methylene)amino)piperazine moiety, inspired by rifampicin/rifapentine, were designed and synthesized. Seven compounds 1a and 1e-j show excellent in vitro activity against both drug-sensitive MTB strain H37Rv and drug-resistant clinical isolates (MIC: 1100->4000). Compound 1h displays good safety and pharmacokinetic profiles, suggesting its promising potential to be lead compound for future antitubercular drug discovery.
