Relationship between the Crystal Structure and Tuberculostatic Activity of Some 2-Amidinothiosemicarbazone Derivatives of Pyridine

Tuberculosis remains one of the most common diseases affecting developing countries due to difficult living conditions, the rapidly increasing resistance of <i>M. tuberculosis</i> strains and the small number of effective anti-tuberculosis drugs. This study concerns the relationship betw...

description Tuberculosis remains one of the most common diseases affecting developing countries due to difficult living conditions, the rapidly increasing resistance of <i>M. tuberculosis</i> strains and the small number of effective anti-tuberculosis drugs. This study concerns the relationship between molecular structure observed in a solid-state by X-ray diffraction and the <sup>15</sup>N NMR of a group of pyridine derivatives, from which promising activity against <i>M. tuberculosis</i> was reported earlier. It was found that the compounds exist in two tautomeric forms: neutral and zwitterionic. The latter form forced the molecules to adopt a stable, unique, flat frame due to conjugation and the intramolecular hydrogen bond system. As the compounds exist in a zwitterionic form in the crystal state generally showing higher activity against tuberculosis, it may indicate that this geometry of molecules is the “active” form.
