A series of dispiropyrrolothiazoles compounds were synthesized using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and were screened for antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv and INH resistant M. tuberculosis strains. Two of them were showing good activity with MIC of less than 1 μM. Compound (5f) was found to be the most active with MIC of 0.210 and 8.312 μM respectively.
