Abstract: Heterocyclic compounds occupy a central position among those molecule that makes life possible. The chemistry of heterocyclic compounds has been an interesting field of study for a long time. Heterocyclic nucleus 1,3,4thiadiazole constitutes constitutes an important class of compounds for new drug development. The synthesis of novel thiadiazole derivatives and investigation of their c...

mycobacterium tuberculosis, the main cause of tuberculosis (tb), has still remained a global health crisis especially in developing countries. tuberculosis treatment is a laborious and lengthy process with high risk of non compliance, cytotoxicity adverse events and drug resistance in patient. recently, there has been an alarming rise of drug resistant in tb. in this regard, it is an unmet need...

P leural tuberculosis is often difficult to diagnose because it is a paucibacillar disease. Mycobacteria are rarely seen on direct examination of pleural fluid and pleural biopsy specimens and cultures are positive in less than 50 percent. The diagnosis is assessed by histologic examination ofpleural biopsy samples which reveals gran’ As in other limited tuberculous involvements, serum antimyco...

The aim of this study was to use the microtitre alamarBlue assay to investigate and compare the antimycobacterial potential of the lantibiotics nisin and lacticin 3147 against a representative cohort of clinically significant mycobacteria, i.e. Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) ATCC 19698 and Mycobacterium kansasii CIT11/06. Lacticin 3147 displa...
