There has been considerable interest in various analogues of antitubercular drugs particularly against multidrug and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis because mycobacterium species has developed resistant against available drugs. The currently used antitubercular also causes some serious toxic effects and also require long period of therapy for the treatment. Therefore, various new drugs ...

Screening of a library small polar molecules against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) led to the identification potent benzoheterocyclic oxime carbamate hit series. This series was subjected medicinal chemistry progression underpinned by structure–activity relationship studies toward identifying compound for proof-of-concept and defining lead optimization strategy. Carbamate free frontrunner co...

Some 6-aryl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one compounds (2a-f) were synthesized and evaluated for their in-vivo anticonvulsant activities against maximal electro shock (MES) and isoniazid (INH) induced seizure methods at 50mg/kg dose level. Neurotoxicity of all compounds (2a-f) was also tested at 50, 100 and 200mg/kg dose level. The in-vitro antitubercular activity was evaluated against Mycobacter...

Heterocyclic compounds containing a pyrimidine nucleus are of special interests due to their applications in medicinal chemistry as they are the basic skeleton of several bioactive compounds such as antifungal, antibacterial, antitumor and antitubercular. As a part of our research in the synthesis of pyrimidine derivatives containing biological activities, some new tetrahydropyrimidine derivati...

Using molecular simplification and hybridization approaches, a series of 2-(benzylthio)-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles was synthesized evaluated as in vitro inhibitors Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) growth. Compounds 6p 6z were considered the lead compounds from this molecules, with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values 6.9 3.8 μM against M. H37Rv, respectively. Additionally, leadi...

Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, continues to be a serious public health problem around the world, and it urges the need for development of new antitubercular drugs. An antibiotic producing strain, Streptomyces luridus (MTCC 4402) was earlier isolated from soil by our group. In this work, the phylogenic status was established by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The strain was...

In 150 consecutive cases of simple partial epilepsy significant CT abnormalities were found in 68%. The commonest lesion noted was a hypodense lesion on unenhanced scan, with a ring or disc-like enhancement on contrast scan, and surrounding hypodensity. This lesion was seen in 39 cases and was more common in patients below the age of 15 years and in those with shorter duration of fits (less tha...

In this study, a case with tubercular choroiditis showing severe macular edema and progression of choroidal lesions following initiation of antitubercular treatment is presented and the management of posterior uveitis associated with tuberculosis is evaluated. A 40-year-old female patient was admitted with decreased vision in her right eye and her fundoscopic examination revealed serpiginous ch...

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...

A series of acetylenic chalcones were evaluated for antimalarial and antitubercular activity. The antimalarial data for this series suggests that growth inhibition of the W2 strain of Plasmodium falciparum can be imparted by the introduction of a methoxy group ortho to the acetylenic group. Most compounds were more active against non-replicating than replicating cultures of Mycobacterium tuberc...
