Tuberculosis is an infectious disease with high incidence and growing drug-resistant rates. In an attempt to develop new antitubercular agents, 35 compounds were synthesized, most of them bearing a carbamate and enantiopure amino acid moiety. These compounds had their activity evaluated toward a Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain (ATCC 27294) and cytotoxicity against fibroblast MRC-5 cells (ATCC CCL-171). Three of the prepared derivatives presented a good antimicrobial inhibition and two of them a moderate cytotoxicity. The lipophilicity seems to play a vital role in the cell growth activity, with best results for the derivatives with a higher logP.

双重保护的氨基酸衍生物作为新型抗结核药。

结核病是一种传染病，发病率高，耐药率不断上升。为了开发新的抗结核药，合成了35种化合物，其中大多数带有氨基甲酸酯和对映体纯氨基酸部分。评估了这些化合物对结核分枝杆菌菌株的活性（ATCC 27294）和对成纤维细胞MRC-5细胞的细胞毒性（ATCC CCL-171）。所制备的三种衍生物具有良好的抗菌抑制作用，其中两种具有中等的细胞毒性。亲脂性似乎在细胞生长活性中起着至关重要的作用，对于具有较高logP的衍生物而言，其效果最佳。
