A phytochemical and antibacterial study of , a species endemic to Mexico, was performed allowing the isolation of six flavones. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the hexanic extract, against H37Rv was 25 μg/mL. The hexanic extract cause...
First-line anti-tuberculosis drugs are playing vital roles for curbing rapid spread of tuberculosis. Multidrug therapies are commonly applied in clinical to achieve better treatment outcomes. However, drug resistance and adverse reactions come along ...
There is a shortage of compounds that are directed towards new targets apart from those targeted by the FDA approved drugs used against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Topoisomerase I (Mttopo I) is an essential mycobacterial enzyme and a promising target...

The present study describes the synthesis of two new series of 3-hydroxy-N-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazinan-3-yl)-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline-2-carboxamide derivatives (4a-j) and 3-((7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)methyl)-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazinan-4-one deriv...
Aim of the present study was to assess the hepatoprotective activity of goat milk on antitubercular drug-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Hepatotoxicity was induced in rats using a combination of isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide given orally as...
As a man-made disease, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is mainly caused by improper treatment programs and poor patient supervision, most of which could be prevented. According to the daily treatment and inspection records of tuberculosis (...
BACKGROUND: Tuberculous pericarditis is considered to be a paucibacillary process; the large pericardial fluid accumulation is attributed to an inflammatory response to tuberculoproteins. Mortality rates are high. We investigated the role of clinical...

OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: The latest incidence of tuberculosis (TB) (per 100,000 people) in Cameroon was 243.00 as of 2011. Over the past 21 years, the value for this indicator has fluctuated between 112.00 in 1990 and 320.00 in 2003. Worldwide, this inc...
Identifying host defense peptides (HDPs) that are effective against drug-resistant infections is challenging due to their vast sequence space. Artificial intelligence (AI)-guided design can accelerate HDP discovery, but it traditionally requires larg...
