Abstract
Fourteen novel N,N'-disubstitued thiourea derivatives were synthesized by Hugershof reaction. Antitubercular activities of ten compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H$_{37}$ Rv were tested and was found tat 1-cyclohexyl-3-(4-benzenesulfonepiperidide)-2-thiourea was considerably active at 1mg/ml and 1-$\alpha$-naphthyl-3-(4-benzenesulfonepiperidide)-2-thiourea was slightly active at 1mg/ml. Antibacterial activity of the newly synthesized compounds against E. coli, Sta. aureus and Streptococcus hemolyticus were also tested. 1-cyclohexyl-3-(4-benzenesulfonepiperidide)-2-thiourea was makedly active against E. coli, Sta, aureus and Streptococcus hemolyticus; Phenol coefficients against E. coli, Sta, aureus and Streptococcus hemolyticus were 30,17.5 and 21.3, respectively. 1,1'-p-phenylene-3,3'bis[N-(2-thiazolyl)-sulfamylphenyl]-2,2'-dithiourea and 1-$\alpha$-naphthyl-3-(4-benzenesulfonepiperidide)-2-thiourea were considerably active against E. coli: phenol coefficients, 18.8 and 37.5 respectively. 1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)3-(4-sulfamylphenyl)-2-thiourea was active against Streptococcus hemolyticus: phenol coefficients, 22.5. 1-$\alpha$-naphthyl-3-(4-sulfamylphenyl)-2-thiourea, 1-$\betha$-naphthyl-3-[4-N-(2-thiazolyl)-sulfamylphenyl]-2-thiourea and 1-$\alpha$-naphthyl-3-(4-benzenesulfonepiperidide)-2-thiourea were active against Sta. aureus: phenol coefficients, 17.5, 20.0 and 18.8 respectively.
