title: [Antimycobacterial 1-phenyl-1-alkylaminoalkanes].
abstract: Synthesis and testing for antimycobacterial properties (M. tuberculosis H 37 Ra, Middlebrook-7H9-broth) of 1-phenyl-1-alkylaminoalkanes, which differ from antimycobacterial N-alkylbenzylamines by an additional alkyl chain in alpha-position, is described. By variation of both alkyl chains and introduction of one or two Cl-substituents in the aromatic ring the activity increases up to an optimum within the homologous series. Overstepping optimal lipophilicity or ramification of the alkyl chains decrease activity.
