Abstract

Our previous studies on antituberculosis agents resulted in synthesis of 2-pyrazinecarbamoildithiocarbazate acid esters and amides and also acethylpyrazine thiosemicarbazone derivatives with various tuberculostatic activity [1,2]. Continuing those studies we have synthesized of N’-(6-methoxypyrazin-2-carbonyl)dithiocarbazic acid esters and their amidrazone analogs. Acid hydrolysis of methyl 6-methoxypyrazine-2-carbimidate 1 led to methyl ester 2 while treatment with hydrazine hydrate afforded amidrazone 3. Ester 2 applied to the reaction with hydrazine hydrate or methylhydrazine gave corresponding hydrazides 4,5 which when treated with carbon disulfide and appropriate halides in the presence of triethylamine reacted giving N’-(6-methoxypyrazine-2-carbonyl)dithiocarbazic acid esters 6-26. Similar reactions performed for amidrazone 3 resulted with corresponding structural analogs 29-33.

The structures of novel compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and MS spectra. The tuberculostatic activity was tested using M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv and wild strains isolated from tuberculotic patients and resistant to common applied antituberculosis drugs.
