Abstract

Analogs of the psychotropic phenothiazines were synthesized and examined as antitubercular agents against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The compounds were subsequently counter-screened for binding to the dopaminergic-receptor subtypes D1, D2, D3 and the serotonergic-receptor subtypes 5-HT(1A), 5-HT(2A), and 5-HT(2C). The most active compounds showed MICs from 2 to 4 microg/mL and had overall reduced binding to the dopamine and serotonin receptors compared to chlorpromazine and trifluoperazine.
