Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 5-hy-droxy-penta-nehydrazide.

Carb-oxy-hydrazides are widely used in medicinal chemistry because of their medicinal properties and many drugs have been developed containing this functional group. A suitable inter-mediate to obtain potential hydrazide drug candidates is the title compound 5-hy-droxy-penta-nehydrazide, CHNO (). The aliphatic compound can react both the hydroxyl and hydrazide moieties forming derivatives, which can inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase (KatG) and consequently causes death of the pathogen.
