In this study, 2-substitutedimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine and 2-substitutedimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine which have -CH2OH, -CH2Cl, -CH3 or -C2H5 groups in positions 2 have been synthesized and tested for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv strains. The compounds were synthesized by previously reported methods. 2-Chloromethylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine and 2-methylimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine were found to be more active than the other compounds tested.
