Fused heterocycles: Synthesis of some new imidazothiazoles

Abstract

Reaction of aldehyde-hydrazones or semicarbazones bearing an imidazo[2,1-b] [1,3]thiazole ring system with mercaptoalkanoic acids were investigated. Antimycobacterial activities of compounds thus obtained were evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using rifampine as standard.
