A series of 35 2e,3e,6e-triaryltetrahydro-4(1H)-pyridinones, 2e,3e,5e,6e-tetraaryltetrahydro-4(1H)-pyridinones and their N-nitroso and N-cyano analogs have been prepared. All these 35 compounds obtained were screened for their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB). Among them, the N-nitrosopyridinones are found to be more active against MTB than the corresponding N-CN analogs, which, in turn, were slightly more active than NH analogs.

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides derived from substituted isatins and 1,3-thiazolane-4-carboxylic acid to a series of 1-methyl-3,5-bis[(E)-arylmethylidene]-tetrahydro-4(1H)-pyridinones afforded novel spiro-pyrrolothiazoles chemo-, regio- and stereoselectively in quantitative yields. These compounds were screened for their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB) and multi-drug resistant M. tuberculosis (MDR-TB) using agar dilution method.
