A new study identified that a semi-synthetic compound can be derived from natural compounds and shows potent activity against tuberculosis (TB), including multi-drug resistant TB.

A new study identified that a semi-synthetic compound can be derived from natural compounds and shows potent activity against tuberculosis , including multi-drug resistant TB., the pathogen responsible for tuberculosis , is the leading cause of bacterial disease-related death worldwide. Current antibiotic regimens for the treatment of TB are dated, require longer courses of treatment and risk the development of drug-resistance.that could also be effective against drug-resistant strains.

The group of researchers redesigned sanguinarine using principles of medicinal chemistry to produce a more potent antibacterial compound with reduced toxicity. In studies in test tubes and in mice, the improved version of sanguinarine, called BPD-9, was capable of killing strains ofthat are resistant to all front-line antibiotics used in the clinics to treat TB.

A potential game-changer in the tuberculosis epidemic was how the tuberculosis community viewed rapid molecular tests for tuberculosis and tuberculosis drug resistance. This was 12 years ago, with ... A new antibiotic compound clears infection of multi-drug resistant gonorrhea in mice in a single oral dose, according to a new study. The compound targets a molecular pathway found in bacteria but ...

New drug regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis shows early effectiveness in 85 percent of patients in a cohort including many with serious comorbidities. The results suggest a global need for ...AI Simulation Gives People a Glimpse of Their Potential Future Self
