Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity with an estimated 1.7 billion people latently infected with the pathogen worldwide. Clinically, TB infection presents itself as an asymptomatic infection, which gradually manifests to life threatening disease. The emergence of various drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and lengthy duration of chemotherapy are major challenges in the field of TB drug development. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop scaffolds that possess a novel mechanism of action, can shorten the duration of therapy, and are active against both drug resistant and susceptible strains. In this review, we will discuss recent progress made in the field of TB drug development with emphasis on screening methods and drug targets from M. tuberculosis. The current review provides insights into mechanism of action of new scaffolds that are being evaluated in various stages of clinical trials. © 2018 IUBMB Life, 70(9):905-916, 2018.
