A series of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1)-one derivatives (-) was screened for in vitro whole-cell antitubercular activity against the tubercular strain H37Rv and multidrug-resistant (MDR) (MTB) strains. Compounds and with di-substituted aryl moiety (halogens) attached to the 2-position of the scaffold showed a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 µg/mL against the MTB strain H37Rv. Compound with an imidazole ring at the 2-position of the dihydroquinazolin-4(1)-one also showed significant inhibitory action against both the susceptible strain H37Rv and MDR strains with MIC values of 4 and 16 µg/mL, respectively. The computational results revealed the mycobacterial pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent aminotransferase (BioA) enzyme as the potential target for the tested compounds. In vitro, ADMET calculations and cytotoxicity studies against the normal human dermal fibroblast cells indicated the safety and tolerability of the test compounds -. Thus, compounds - warrant further optimization to develop novel BioA inhibitors for the treatment of drug-sensitive H37Rv and drug-resistant MTB.

This research work details the use of a molecular hybridization technique to create a library of four series of hydrazineyl-linked imidazo[1,2-]pyrimidine-thiazole derivatives. The structure of one of the final products, K2, was validated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Twenty-six novel hybrid molecules (K1-K26) were synthesized and tested for activity against the H37Rv strain.

Fungi of the order Diaporthales are prolific sources of antimicrobial secondary metabolites. In this paper, we describe antimicrobial and antituberculosis anthraquinones (AQs) from Diaporthe perseae, an endophytic fungus isolated and identified from the endemic Philippine medicinal plant Uvaria alba (Annonaceae).

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different strains on the blood proteinase-inhibitor system and structural changes in the renal parenchyma during the pathogenesis of renal tuberculosis in a rabbit model.
Methods: Renal tuberculosis was modeled on 60 male Soviet Chinchilla rabbits. The susceptible virulent strain H37Rv (Euro-American lineage, group 1) and the low-lethal multidrug-resistant strain 5582 (Beijing Central Asian/Russian cluster; group 2) were injected into the cortex of the lower pole of the left kidney.

The escalating threat of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) necessitates the discovery of novel chemotherapeutic agents. In this study, a series of dihydroindazole-based derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antimycobacterial potential. Among the synthesized compounds, 8u exhibited the most potent in vitro activity against Mtb HRv with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 µg/mL, while 8i and 8q showed moderate activity (MIC = 8 µg/mL).

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge. This study presents the design, synthesis, and evaluation of some novel pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-pyrimidone derivatives targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The compounds were assessed for anti-tubercular activity using the Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA) against the Mtb H37Rv strain.
