  1. We determined the MIC of a representative molecule for each chemotype.
  2. 1% Inhibition of M. tuberculosis growth after 5 days in the primary screen (duplicated runs).
  3. 2MIC is the concentration required to achieve 90% inhibitions of growth of M. tuberculosis in aerobic culture (n ≥ 2).
  4. 3IC20 is the concentration required to achieve 20% inhibition of HepG2 cells (n = 2).
