title: 1-Aryl-5-benzylsulfanyltetrazoles, a new group of antimycobacterial compounds against potentially pathogenic strains.
abstract: A set of 21 1-phenyl-5-benzylsulfanyltetrazoles substituted on the phenyl ring as well as on the benzyl moiety was evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium avium and two strains of M. kansasii. We tried to use the Hansch approach, the Free-Wilson approach and their combination for structure-activity correlation but the calculations were statistically insignificant.
