Isoniazid, the hydrazide of isonicotinic acid, is synthesized from Y-picoline, which by permanganate oxidation is converted in the normal manner into isonicotinic acid. The acid is esterified by means of " ethanol and concentrated sulphuric acid. Direct N2 condensation of the ester with hydrazine affords the required hydrazide.


lsoniazid occurs as colourless, odourless crystals, or white crystalline powder, m.p. 171.4°. soluble in water (1 : 8) and alcohol (1 : 50); slightly soluble in chloroform and ether. The drug is stored in well-closed containers and protected from light
 .


Uses
Isonlazid is antibacterial (tuberculostatic), i.e., it has N bacteriostatic effect on the tubercle bacilli therein. It is used to treat pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Pyridoxine N is often given in conjugation with isoniazid to avert its neurotoxicity .
