Sixteen compounds of N-aroyl-N¡¯¡¯-(4¡¯¡¯-alkoxyphenyl) thiourea derivative, twenty one compounds of N-aroyl-N¡¯¡¯-(3¡¯¡¯-hydroxy-4¡¯¡¯-alkoxycarbonylphenyl) thiourea derivative, three compounds of N-aroyl-N¡¯-alpha-naphthylthiourea derivative and three compounds of N-cyanoacetyl-N¡¯¡¯-aroyl thiosemicarbazide derivative were synthesized as potential antitubercular agent and were subjected to screening . test for antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv by tube dilution method in vitro. Of the forty three compounds, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N¡¯¡¯-(4¡¯¡¯- iso-butoxyphenyl) thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N¡¯¡¯-(4¡¯¡¯-n-amoxyphenyl)thiourea, N-furoyl-N¡¯¡¯-(4¡¯¡¯-n-amoxyphenyl) thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N¡¯¡¯-(3¡¯¡¯-hydroxy-4¡¯¡¯-ethoxycarbonylphenyI)thioureal N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N¡¯¡¯-(3¡¯¡¯-hydroxy-4¡¯¡¯-n-butoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N¡¯¡¯-(3¡¯¡¯-hydroxy-4¡¯¡¯-n-amoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N¡¯¡¯-(3¡¯¡¯-hydroxy-4¡¯¡¯-iso-amoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea, and N-5-nitrofuroyl-N¡¯¡¯(3¡¯¡¯-hydroxy- 4¡¯¡¯-n-amoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea showed the growth inhibition of M. tuberculosis H37Rv at the concentration of 10mcg/ml, respectively.
