ABSTRACT: A series of novel [(Sulphamoylphenyl)amino]methyl piperazinyl fluroquinolones were synthesized through modifying the N4-hydrogen of piperazine in fluoroquinolones with formaldehyde and sulphanomides by mannich reactions. Synthesized compounds were screened for anti-mycobacterial activity against TB H37Rv strain. Cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was also tested in mock-infected Vero cells. All the compounds exhibited significant anti-tubercular activity. Among the synthesized compounds, compounds GF-SA, GF-SD and CF-SD were found to exhibit the most potent in vitro anti-mycobacterial activity with a EC90 value of less than 0.195 µg/ml, and a selectivity index of more than 153 while not being cytotoxic to the Vero cell line up to 30 µg/ml. KEYWORDS: Fluoroquinolone; Mannich reaction; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Vero cells.
