This minireview surveys the work of our research group directed toward finding novel antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs. Many active compounds were found with a common 1,5-diarylpyrrole skeleton. Some of the synthesized compounds, designed on the basis of structure–activity relationship studies, showed very interesting activities and proved to be effective in vivo, thus providing evidence of their attractiveness for lead optimization.
