title: Studies on some new thiosemicarbazones as potential antitubercular agents.
abstract: Twenty-one 4-aryl-3-thiosemicarbazides and their new vanillin-4-aryl-3-thiosemicarbazones have been prepared in good yield. Antitubercular activity of five of the vanillin-4-aryl-3-thiosemicarbazones was evaluated against mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37 Ra in Löwenstein-Jensen medium. In addition to IR, biological activity and TLC studies for thiosemicarbazones were carried out.
