Abstract
The increasing demand for novel antitubercular agents has been the main 'force' of many TB research efforts due to the uncontrolled growing number of drug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis in the clinical setting. Many strategies have been employed to address the drug-resistant issue, including a trend that is gaining attention, which is the design and discovery of Mtb inhibitors that are either dual- or multitargeting. The multiple-target design concept is not new in medicinal chemistry. With a growing number of newly discovered Mtb proteins, numerous targets are now available for developing new biochemical/cell-based assays and computer-aided drug design (CADD) protocols. To describe the achievements and overarching picture of this field in anti- infective drug discovery, we provide in this review small molecules that exhibit profound inhibitory activity against the tubercle bacilli and are identified to trace two or more Mtb targets. This review also presents emerging design methodologies for developing new anti-TB agents, particularly tailored to structure-based CADD.
期刊介绍:
Current Drug Targets aims to cover the latest and most outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry and pharmacology of molecular drug targets e.g. disease specific proteins, receptors, enzymes, genes.
Current Drug Targets publishes guest edited thematic issues written by leaders in the field covering a range of current topics of drug targets. The journal also accepts for publication mini- & full-length review articles and drug clinical trial studies.
As the discovery, identification, characterization and validation of novel human drug targets for drug discovery continues to grow; this journal is essential reading for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in drug discovery and development.
