N-[2-Naphthyl]-glycine hydrazide has been shown for the first time as a potent inhibitor of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. At a concentration of 10 to the power -9 M, the compound shows maximum inhibition of the enzyme, the inhibition being less at higher concentrations. It is suggested that the novel type of inhibition pattern may be due to hydrophobic interactions occurring between the molecules of the compound at higher concentrations. The finding that there is a shift in the max of the compound could also account for this phenomenon. The effect of this compound was also tested on DNA-dependent RNA polymerases from an eukaryotic fungus, Microsporum canis. At a concentration of 10 to the power-9 M it inhibits RNA polymerase II (32 percent) but not RNA polymerases I and III.
