We report a 38-year-old Chinese woman with lupus nephritis on peritoneal dialysis and long-term maintenance steroid therapy. This patient developed paradoxical deterioration during anti-tubercular therapy for tuberculous lymphadenitis. The deterioration resolved spontaneously without change to pharmacotherapy. Paradoxical deterioration that may spontaneously resolve is a potential complication ...

BACKGROUND The first line anti-tubercular (anti-TB) treatment normally involves isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Clearance of these drugs depends on the activity of several enzymes such as N-acetyl transferase 2, cytochrome P450 oxidase and glutathione S-transferase (GST). Some of these enzymes are highly polymorphic leading to significant inter-individual variation in their...

Tubercular involvement of small bones is a rare clinical condition. Often, the disease associated with pulmonary involvement. Isolated cases spina ventosa in adults no seeding or any history tuberculosis trauma are relatively infrequent occurrences. We report case 22-year-old immunocompetent Indian female who presented complaints swollen right index finger. A detailed workup supported by radiog...

In vitro anti-tubercular activity of a series 15 novel 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one analogues were evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (ATCC 25177 strain). Among the series, seven compounds showed moderate to good anti-TB with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 25.0–12.5 ?g/mL. Further, in silico experiments carried out identify probable ligand-protein ...

Thiosemicarbazides are potent intermediates for the synthesis of pharmaceutical and bioactive materials and thus, they are used extensively in the field of medicinal chemistry. The imine bond (-N=CH-) in these compounds are useful in organic synthesis, in particular for the preparation of heterocycles and non-natural β-aminoacids.In this paper the synthesis of some new thiosemicarbazide derivat...

As a result of extensive experimental investigations and intensive research programme, it has been possible to synthesize various compounds having tuberculostatic properties (Rist et al, 1940; Lehmann, 1946; Domagk, 1950) and to detect the presence of anti-tubercular activity in a variety of compounds of both synthetic and natural origin (Rake, 1949; Steenken and Wolinsky, 1950; Editorial, 1950...
