New effective compounds for tuberculosis treatment are needed. This study evaluated the effects of a series of quinoxaline-derived chalcones against laboratorial strains and clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis. Six molecules, namely N5, N9, N10, N15, N16, and N23 inhibited the growth of the M. tuberculosis H37Rv laboratorial strain. The three compounds (N9, N15 and N23) with the lowest MIC values were further tested against clinical isolates and laboratory strains with mutations in katG or inhA genes. From these data, N9 was selected as the lead compound for further investigation. Importantly, this chalcone displayed a synergistic effect when combined with moxifloxacin. Noteworthy, the anti-tubercular effects of N9 did not rely on inhibition of mycolic acids synthesis, circumventing important mechanisms of resistance. Interactions with cytochrome P450 isoforms and toxic effects were assessed in silico and in vitro. The chalcone N9 was not predicted to elicit any mutagenic, genotoxic, irritant, or reproductive effects, according to in silico analysis. Additionally, N9 did not cause mutagenicity or genotoxicity, as revealed by Salmonella/microsome and alkaline comet assays, respectively. Moreover, N9 did not inhibit the cytochrome P450 isoforms CYP3A4/5, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. N9 can be considered a potential lead molecule for development of a new anti-tubercular therapeutic agent.
