The depleting T-lymphocyte count during acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) predisposes the patients to many opportunistic infections, primary of which is Tuberculosis (TB). HIV-TB coinfection has acquired pandemic proportion especially in developing countries. Two series of novel N,N-diallyl/diphenyl-2-(5-substituted-1-(arylmethyl/alkylmethyl)-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-retroviral capability on MT-4 cell lines as well as for their potential to repress TB in both logarithmic and dormant phases. They were also subjected to evaluation for their ability to repress Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) Isocitrate lyase (ICL), an enzyme which is essential for the bacilli to survive in starved cultures. Amidst the entire array of compounds, N,N-diallyl-2-(1-((diethylamino)methyl)-5-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (A12) demonstrated excellent activity against the growth of HIV-1 cell in vitro with EC50 value of 0.30 µM; and also had the best ICL inhibitory profile with 40.45% inhibition.
