title: Synthesis and antitubercular activity of 6-chloro (unsubstituted)- 2-methoxy-9-substituted acridine derivatives.
abstract: Several analogues of the general formulae 2-methoxy-9-substituted acridine and 6-chloro-2-methoxy-9-substituted acridine were synthesized and evaluated in vitro at 6.25 microg/mL against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Compounds 15 and 17 showed potential antitubercular activity with 100% inhibition to the virulent mycobacterium.
