title: Antimycobacterial activity of 3'- and 4'-fluorothiobenzanilides.
abstract: On the basis of a preliminary study of the antimycobacterial activity of thiobenzanilides, a group of 3'-fluoro- and 4'-fluorothiobenzanilides has been synthesized and tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. kansasii, M. avium and M. fortuitum. The results of this study demonstrate that electron withdrawing groups increase the activity of thiobenzanilides and fluoro benzothioanilides against atypical strains which is higher then that of INH.
