Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of New 4-(Benzylsulfanyl)pyridine Derivatives

Abstract
A series of 4-(benzylsulfanyl)pyridine-2-carbonitriles 2 and 4-(benzylsulfanyl)pyridine-2- carbothioamides 3 was synthesized and their antimycobacterial and antifungal activities were tested. The prepared compounds exhibit significant activity both against M. tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria. The most active compounds show the MICs of 4 μmol/l. The antifungal activities of 2 are very weak, compounds 3 are inactive against all the tested fungi.
