1H-1,2,3-Triazolylbenzohydrazides (6a-h and 11a-l) were synthesized from 2-chloronicotinaldehydes and evaluated for anti-mycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain (ATCC-27294). Seven compounds 6b, 6e,f, 11d, 11h, 11j and 11l displayed potent anti-mycobacterial activity (MIC 2.8-6.2 μM). Potent anti-mycobacterial compounds were chosen for cytotoxicity studies by MTT protein assay against normal cell lines (PBMC and Raw 264.7) and shown low cytotoxicity. This is the first Letter assigning anti-mycobacterial activity, cytotoxicity and structure activity relationship for 1H-1,2,3-triazolylbenzohydrazides.
