The preparation of a large number of pyrazinamides and related compounds for antituberculous activity is described. The majority of these compounds were alkyl, aryl, acyl and heterocyclicderivatives of pyrazinamides. Thiosemicarbazones of several related pyrazines were prepared for in vivo testing. Of the compounds prepared, pyrazinamide was found to be more active than^-aminosalicylic acid in the mouse test, and was found to be clinically active in humans.The in vivo antituberculous activity of nicotin-amide and N-thiazolylnicotinamide, which has been reported2 by some of us, led to further synthe-sis in the field of heterocyclics closely related to them. Although in the field of pyrazine chemistry several compounds have been reported to be active as analeptics, 3 antipellagric agents4 or local anesthet-ics, 5 to our knowledge no study of pyrazines has been made in the chemotherapy oftuberculosis. Since thepyrazine derivatives resemble, in struc-ture,’nicotinamide with an additional nitrogen atom substituted in the ring, it was of interest to determine whether or not this similarity in structure
