Graphical abstract

Lipophilic chalcones and their conformationally restricted analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their antitubercular efficacy against Mycobacterium tuberculosisH37Rv strain. Compounds 162425a and 25c were found to be active MIC at 60, 30, 3.5 and 7.5 μg-mL−1. In vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 162425a, 25c and 26 in non-cancerous human epithelial kidney cell line (HEK-293) showed that most active compound 25a was approximately 2.85 times selective towards tubercular versus healthy cells whereas compound 24 was found to be 16 times selective.
