New 1,4-di-N-oxide-quinoxaline-2-ylmethylene isonicotinic acid hydrazide derivatives as anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis agents

The increase in the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis cases demonstrates the need of discovering new and promising compounds with antimycobacterial activity. As a continuation of our research and with the aim of identifying new antitubercular drugs candidates, a new series of quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide derivatives containing isoniazid was synthesized and evaluated for in vitro anti-tuberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Moreover, various drug-like properties of new compounds were predicted. Taking into account the biological results and the promising drug-likeness profile of these compounds, make them valid leads for further experimental research.
