Article Abstract
Phytol, a diterpene alcohol was modified to several semisynthetic analogues. Some of the modifications were done logically to enhance lipophilicity of the molecule. Analogues 14, 16 and 18 exhibited antitubercular activity (MIC 15.6-50microg/mL) better than phytol (100microg/mL). The most potent analogue 18 was evaluated for in vivo toxicity in Swiss albino mice and was well tolerated by the experimental animals up to 300mg/kg body weight as a single oral acute dose.
