Tuberculosis is the leading cause of mortality among infectious diseases worldwide. Finding a new competent anti tubercular therapy is essential. We screened thousands of compounds and evaluated their efficacy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Initially, 2- nitronaphtho[2,3-b]benzofuran-6,11-dione was active against M. tuberculosis. Next, among 15 newly synthesized derivatives, BNF15 showed promising effect against all drug-sensitive and drug-resistant M. tuberculosis (MIC: 0.02-0.78 μg/mL). BNF15 effectively killed intracellular M. tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria. BNF15 exhibited a prolonged post antibiotic effect superior to isoniazid, streptomycin, and ethambutol and synergistic interaction with rifampicin. In acute oral toxicity test, BNF15 did not show toxic effect at a concentration up to 2000 mg/kg. These results highlight the perspective of BNF15 to treat drug-resistant M. tuberculosis. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2Name: 4-Benzyloxyphenol).
4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2) belongs to ethers. Esters perform as high-grade solvents for a broad array of plastics, plasticizers, resins, and lacquers, and are one of the largest classes of synthetic lubricants on the commercial market. Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. Esters are common in organic chemistry and biological materials.Name: 4-Benzyloxyphenol
