title: [Relation between chemical structure, antitubercular activity and hepatotoxicity of 2-alkylthio-6-benzamidobenzothiazoles].
abstract: The paper investigates the relationships between hydrophobic parameters and antituberculotic activity of 2-alkylthio-6-benzamidobenzothiazoles, tested on INH-resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In the group of compounds with linear alkyl substituents in position 2, the tuberculostatic effect is increasing with decrease of lipophility of alkyls. Branching of the alkyls strongly increases the activity. The hepatotoxicity of compounds under study was investigated by means of the activity of serum aminotransferases (ALT, AST) in Wistar type rats. The hepatotoxicity of compounds seemed to be smaller than that of the thiobenzamides.
