Importance of the thiomorpholine introduction in new pyrrole derivatives as antimycobacterial agents analogues of BM 212

Abstract

During the course of our investigations in the field of azole antimicrobial agents, we have identified BM 212, a pyrrole derivative with good in vitro activity against mycobacteria and candidae. These findings prompted us to prepare new pyrrole derivatives 1-10 in the hope of increasing the activity. The microbiological data showed interesting in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and atypical mycobacteria.
