“…Different compounds containing the moiety imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine have significant biological applications such as anti-mycobacterial [15e21], anticancer [22,23], antiviral [24e27], antimicrobial [28e30], anti-HIV [31], antiulcer [32,33], antihelminthic [34] and anticoccidial activity [35,36]. As a result of our interest in the synthesis of imidazopyridine-containing compounds and their antimicrobial activity [37], we initiated a program directed towards the synthesis of the new imidazopyridine amide derivatives. Imidazopyridine amides (IPA) are a new class of therapeutic agents against MDR and XDR tuberculosis [18e21].…”
