A series of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-6-aryl-5-pyrrolidin/piperidin/morpholin-1-ylmethyl-imidazo [2,1-[1,3, thiadiazoles (3a-e, 4a-e & 5a-e) were synthesized by Mannich reaction by condensing 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-6-arylimidazo [2,1-[1,3,thiadiazoles with pyrrolidine, piperidine and morpholine. The title compounds were screened for antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using the BACTEC 460 radiometric assay. Mannich bases with pyrrolidine substitution were found to be most active antitubercular agents. It proves that as the ring size decreases it becomes much potent in its activity. Pyrrolidine being 5 membered ring structure & further combined with imidazothiadiazole nucleus enhances the pharmacological activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
