A Schiff base is a compound with a functional group that contains a carbon-nitrogen double bond with the nitrogen atom connected to aryl or alkyl group. In the present study, schiff bases were synthesized using 4-amino pyridine and different aldehydes, after assessing the drug likeliness properties. The structure of synthesised compounds were characterized by IR, NMR and Mass spectroscopic techniques. Docking studies were carried out for the schiff bases derived from 4-amino pyridine using Molegro Virtual Docker and protein beta-ketoacyl acyl carrier protein synthase II (mtKasB) enzyme was selected as the target for M. tuberculosis. The results of docking study was compared with the standard drug isoniazid and the significant results were obtained.
