A series of 2-amino-4H-pyran-3-carbonitrile derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their antitubercular activities
were evaluated against autoluminescent M. tuberculosis H37Ra and standard strain M. tuberculosis H37Rv. No obvious
antitubercular activities could be observed (MIC > 10 ug/mL). The results are in sharp contrast with the previously reported
data.
