The synthesis and inhibitory potencies of a novel series of β-amino alcohols, based on the hit-compound 3-[3′-(4 ″-cyclopent-2‴-en-1‴-ylphenoxy)-2′-hydroxypropyl]-5, 5 dimethylimidazolidine-2, 4-dione as specific inhibitors of mycobacterial N-acetyltransferase (NAT) enzymes are reported. Effects of synthesised compounds on growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have been determined.
