N2 - tNovel water-soluble chitosan-isoniazid conjugates were synthesized by two methods: (1) the carbodi-imide method using isoniazid (INH) and N-(2-carboxyethyl)chitosan (CEC), and (2) the reaction betweenINH and N-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)chitosan (CHPC). The solubility of the conjugates under physi-ological conditions was enhanced by phosphorylation. Method (1) is preferable in terms of obtainingconjugates with a high content of active substance; depending on reaction conditions, the degree ofsubstitution in the INH-CEC conjugates varies from 0.08 tо 0.39. Ultrasound treatment increased thereaction rate by a factor of 1.3–1.5, but caused partial degradation of the polymer. Consecutive modifi-cation led to a considerable decrease in polymer biodegradability in the following order: chitosan > CECor CHPC > conjugate. In vitro screening of the antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosisH37Rv demonstrated a comparable or slightly higher minimum inhibitory concentration for conjugatesthan for INH itsel
