Popis: A series of thirty 2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.0]octa-4,8-diene derivatives was examined for antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. kansasii, M. avium, and M. fortuitum. The structure-activity relationships were analysed by Free-Wilson method. The authors consider the disulfide moiety to be the pharmacophore of antimycobacterial activity. To verify the idea, several other monocyclic sulfides, 3,4-dihydro-1,2-dithiolane derivatives, were also evaluated.
