Evaluation of Antituberculosis Activity and in Silico Properties of Oxymethylene-cyclo-1,3-diones.

Tuberculosis is a leading infectious disease that has infected one-third of the world's population and is more prevalent among people belonging to developing countries such as India and China. In the present study, a series of substituted oxymethylene-cyclo-1,3-diones was synthesized and screened for anti-tuberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (M. tuberculosis).
