Recent Advances in the Research of Heterocyclic Compounds as Antitubercular Agents

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem, with approximately one-third of the world's population infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, eight million people in the active disease state, and two million dying annually. Furthermore, the prevalence of TB/HIV co-infection, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) have further aggravated the spread of this disease and thus mortality by it. There is an urgent need for novel antitubercul… Show more

“…Amino group present in 2 nd position of pyrimidine ring reacts with different aldehydes produced imine (-C=N-) was shown potent activity, alongside 4 th and 6 th substitution plays major role in anti-TB activity [22,23]. Fortunately, varieties of latest potential antitubercular candidate's medication with heterocyclic rings, that are presumably to be effective against resistant strains, have entered clinical trials in current years [24].…”

“…In 2016, 10.4 million people fell ill with TB, among them 90% were adults, 65% were male, and 10% were people living with HIV . There are several reasons for the incremental prevalence of TB, and the most important two are drug‐resistant TB (DR‐TB) and HIV/TB coinfection . According to the estimation of WHO, there were 600,000 new cases with resistance to RIF and of which 490,000 had multidrug‐resistant TB (MDR‐TB) .…”

“…In spite of the first‐line anti‐TB agents are highly effective, they are far from ideal, because the threat from TB is in continual increase, as evidenced by 10.4 million people fell ill with TB throughout the world, with 1.67 million deaths made TB the leading infectious cause of death globally in the year 2016 alone, and the number is still increasing . There are many reasons for the incremental prevalence of TB, including immigration, high population densities, nutrient deficiencies, inadequate environmental conditions, globalization, conflicts, famine, and poor patient compliance, while the most important two reasons are drug‐resistant TB (DR‐TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/TB co‐infection . The HIV/TB co‐infection makes the patients more susceptible to reinfection with either drug‐susceptible or drug‐resistant strains, and TB has already known to be the leading cause of death among people living with HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, resulted in 370,000 deaths in 2016 .…”
