In this study, a series of twenty-two ring-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxanilides was prepared and characterized. Primary in vitro screening of the synthesized compounds was performed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, Mycobacterium avium complex and M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Some of the tested compounds showed the antimycobacterial activity against M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis comparable with or higher than that of rifampicin. 8-Hydroxy-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]- and 8-hydroxy-N-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]quinoline-2-carboxamide showed MIC=24 μM against all tested mycobacterial strains. 3-Methoxyphenyl- and 3-methylphenyl derivatives expressed MIC=27 or 29 μM also against all the tested strains. Their activity against M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis was 4-fold higher than that of rifampicin. 2-Bromophenyl- and 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl derivatives had MIC=23 or 24 μM against M. tuberculosis. A significant decrease of mycobacterial cell metabolism (viability of M. tuberculosis H37Ra) was observed using MTT assay. Screening of cytotoxicity of the compounds was performed using the THP-1 cells, and no significant lethal effect was observed up to tested concentration 30 μM. The structure-activity relationships are discussed.
