A Review on Potent Antitubercular Agent Isoniazid and Its Analogues
نویسنده
چکیده
There has been considerable interest in the development of new anti tubercular agents particularly against multidrug resistance and extensively drug resistant strain of tuberculosis because mycobacterium species have developed resistant against currently used drugs. The currently use antitubercular drugs having toxic effect and long period of therapeutic treatment. Therefore, many researchers have synthesized various newer drugs and analogues of currently used drugs for tuberculosis treatment. These observations have been guiding for the development of newer analogues that possess potent antitubercular activity with minimum side effects with effectiveness against multidrug resistant mycobacterium, and also in patient co-infected with HIV/AIDS. In this review we are discussed about isoniazid and it analogues as potent antitubercular agents. Keyword: Antitubercular, multidrug resistance, mycobacterium.

Overview on Antitubercular Agent Thiolactomycin and its Analogues
Vrious antitubercular agents are used the control and treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Currently, various works is going on in the research and development of new antiTB drugs for less side effects, more potent, short period of therapy and more importantly acive against multi drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium. In this continuation we study here thiolactomycin (TLM) and it analogues as anti...
متن کاملSynthesis and biological evaluation of some novel 1,4-dihydropyridines as potential antitubercular agents.
Recent studies showed that 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbamoyl derivatives with lipophilic groups have significant antitubercular activity. In this study, we have synthesized new derivatives of 1,4-dihydropyridines bearing carbmethoxy and carbethoxy group at C-3 and C-5 of the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring. In addition, 1H-pyrazole ring is substituted at C-4 position. These analogues were synthesize...
متن کاملSynthesis and antitubercular activity of heterocycle substituted diphenyl ether derivatives.
Despite being an ancient disease, tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading single-agent infectious disease killer in the world. The emerging serious problem of TB control and clinical management prompted us to synthesize a novel series of heterocyclic substituted diphenyl ether derivatives and determine their activity against the H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium. All ten compounds inhibited the growt...
متن کاملDemethoxycurcumin and its semisynthetic analogues as antitubercular agents.
Demethoxycurcumin, isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa, was found to possess antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H (37)Rv strain at 200 microg/mL. Derivatisation of this active principle yielded a potent agent 6, exhibiting considerable activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 7.8 microg/mL. H (37)Rv:Mycobacterium tuberculosis H (37)Rv strai...
متن کاملIsoniazid causing pleural effusion
Isoniazid (INH) is a first-line antitubercular drug. We report a case of a patient who developed a pleural effusion 2 months after starting antitubercular treatment for spinal tuberculosis. Isoniazid was found to be the culprit and its discontinuation caused subsidence of the effusion.
