Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The present work reports the design and synthesis of a hybrid of the precursors of rifampicin and clofazimine, which led to the discovery of a novel Rifaphenazine (RPZ) molecule with potent anti-TB activity. In addition, the efficacy of RPZ was evaluated in-vitro using the reference strain Mtb H37Rv. Herein, 2,3 diamino phenazine, a precursor of an anti-TB drug clofazimine, was tethered to the rifampicin core. This 2,3 diamino phenazine did not have an inherent anti-TB activity even at a concentration of up to 2 µg/mL, while rifampicin did not exhibit any activity against Mtb at a concentration of 0.1 µg/mL. However, the synthesized novel Rifaphenzine (RPZ) inhibited 78% of the Mtb colonies at a drug concentration of 0.1 µg/mL, while 93% of the bacterial colonies were killed at 0.5 µg/mL of the drug. Furthermore, the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) value for RPZ was 1 µg/mL. Time-kill studies revealed that all bacterial colonies were killed within a period of 24 h. The synthesized novel molecule was characterized using high-resolution mass spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity studies (IC50) were performed on human monocytic cell line THP-1, and the determined IC50 value was 96 µg/mL, which is non-cytotoxic.
