Approach: The compounds (3a-d) and (4a-d) were evaluated as antitubercular agents against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv by screening through in vitro Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA) method. Findings: In silico physicochemical parameter revealed that the entire compounds follow Lipinski’s rule-of-5 to become a “drug like” molecule. ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretions) profile prediction has shown that all the compounds can be absorbed through human intestine (HIA+), Caco-2 cell (Caco-2+) and can cross blood brain barrier (BBB+), they all are non-substrate and non-inhibitor of p-glycoprotein. Compounds 4a-d are inhibitor of human microsomal enzyme like CYP 450 1A2, CYP 450 2C19 and CYP 450 3A4. Research limitations/implications: Compounds 4a-4d are better ligand for enzyme inhibition than 3a-d compounds. The MIC of compounds 4a-d and 3a is 6.25 μg/ml. They are potent than compound 3b-d with MIC 12.5 μg/ml. Originality: Toxicity prediction indicated that compounds 3a-3d and 4a-d are non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic. Bioactivity prediction for compounds 3a-3d and 4a-d indicated better ligand as enzyme inhibitor in comparison to standard.
