This document describes the synthesis and characterization of cyanopyridine derivatives and their evaluation for antitubercular and anthelmintic activity. Chalcones were first synthesized through Claisen-Schmidt condensation and then reacted with malononitrile to obtain cyanopyridines. The structures of the compounds were characterized using techniques such as IR, NMR and mass spectrometry. The cyanopyridines were then evaluated for antitubercular activity against M. tuberculosis using the microplate Alamar Blue assay and for anthelmintic activity against earthworms. Some of the compounds showed promising activity in both assays.
