A set of 4‐benzylsulfanylpyridine‐2‐carbohydrazides was synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis , non‐tuberculous mycobacteria, and multidrug‐resistant M. tuberculosis . The activities expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) fall into a range of 2 to 125 μmol/L, most often 4 to 32 μmol/L. The results revealed that the substituents on the benzyl moiety do not influence the antimycobacterial efficacy. The substances exhibited similar activities against sensitive and resistant strains of M. tuberculosis . Furthermore, compounds show low antiproliferative effect and cytotoxicity.
