Herein, we propose novel quinolones incorporating an INH moiety as potential drug templates against TB. The quinolone-based compounds bearing an INH moiety attached <i>via</i> a hydrazide-hydrazone bond were synthesised and evaluated against <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> H37Rv (MTB). The compounds were also evaluated for cytotoxicity against HeLa cell lines. These compounds showed significant activity (MIC<sub>90</sub>) against MTB in the range of 0.2-8 μM without any cytotoxic effects. Comp ...[more]
