Abstract

Background: The authors targeted InhA to estimate the therapeutic potential of novel chalcones against tuberculosis. Methods: 07 synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37RV; American Type Culture Collection number: 27294) using the microplate Alamar Blue assay. Results: The most potent compounds, trans-1-(2-napthyl)-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-one showed in vitro activity, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.16 μg/ml. Conclusion: Compound code 1e i.e. trans-1-(2-napthyl)-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-one showed strong in vitro antimycobacterial activity at a concentration of 1,16 μg/ml.

Keywords: Chalcones, InhA, H37RV strain, microplate Alamar Blue assay, Anti-tubercular activity
