Synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of ferrocenyl ethambutol analogues and ferrocenyl diamines

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 May 2;15(9):2301-3. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.03.004.

Abstract

A new series of ferrocenyl diamino alcohols and diamines were synthesized and their inhibitory potencies were probed with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Interestingly, ferrocenyl diamines 6a and b display significant activities against M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
