New derivatives of imidazo[4,5‐ b ]pyridine and 9H ‐dipyrido‐[1,2‐a:3′,2′‐ d ]imidazole were synthesized. Antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis of selected compounds was determined. These data were combined with the corresponding bioactivity data previously generated for two other series of imidazo[4,5‐ b ]pyridines. Analysis of Quantitative Structure‐Activity Relationships [QSAR] was carried out using nonempirical structural descriptors. Hydrophobicity of the agents studied was found decisive for their activity. A QSAR equation was derived allowing rational design of active derivatives.
