Phenothiazines are a commercially available class of psychotropic drugs known to show antituberculosis activity. At clinically relevant bactericidal doses, however, the psychotropic drugs produce undesirable side effects in addition to their neuroleptic properties. This study aimed to evaluate rationally designed novel phenothiazines as antimycobacterial drug candidates.
