Abstract

A series of N-substituted 3-amino-5-thiocarbamoyl-2-pyrazinecarboxamides was prepared. The structure of compounds was confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectra. The results of in vitro antifugal and antimycobacterial susceptibility testing shown no activity against pathogenic fungi and some effect on mycobacteria. The highest antituberculotic activity (MIC within 25-50 mg ml-1) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacterial strains in this series was shown by 3-(3-hydroxyphenylamino)-5-thiocarbamoyl-2-pyrazinecarboxamide. The antituberculotic activity of these compounds is mostly influenced by the presence of the thioamide moiety.
