Abstract

In the present investigation, a series of 3a,4-dihydro-3H-indeno [1,2-c] pyrazole-2-carboxamide analogues were synthesized and were evaluated for antitubercular activity by two fold serial dilution technique. All the newly synthesized compounds showed low to good inhibitory activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37Rv and multi-drug resistant M. tuberculosis (MDR-TB). 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-3a,4- dihydro-3H-indeno [1,2-c] pyrazole-2-carboxamide (4c) was found to be the most promising compound active against M. tuberculosis, H 37Rv and MDR-TB with minimum inhibitory concentrations 0.83 μM and 3.32 μM respectively.
