Although according to WHO document, between 1990 and 2015, both TB mortality and its incidence has been fallen over 47% worldwide, the spread of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals clearly that the efforts to find new drugs should not be stopped and the pathogenic microorganisms develop resistance. More extended knowledge about existing drugs is critical to design new and more effective medicines. In this study, we report the amino acid sequences involved in…

Synthesis, Antitubercular Activity and Mechanism of Resistance of Highly Effective Thiacetazone Analogues
TLDR
This study uncovered new mutations associated with TAC resistance and demonstrated that simple structural optimization of the TAC scaffold was possible and may lead to a new generation of TAC-derived drug candidates for the potential treatment of tuberculosis as mycolic acid inhibitors.
Molecular Modeling and Docking Studies of O-Succinylbenzoate Synthase of M. tuberculosis—a Potential Target for Antituberculosis Drug Design
TLDR
A systematic study was conducted to get an insight about Mtb-OSBS enzyme and the corresponding inhibitors using in silico methods, and it was identified that Lys108, Asn140, Asp138, Lys110, Glu189, Ser236, As p188, Arg27, Tyr52, and Ser237 are highly conserved, and these may play a vital role as active residues, similar to that in template protein.
Synthesis and Evaluation of New Fluorinated Anti-Tubercular Compounds
TLDR
F fluorine has the smallest size from one hand and the strongest electronegativity from the other hand among the halogen atoms and could be considered as a golden substituent to improve the anti-M.tuberculosis activity of thioacetazone.
Emergence of new forms of totally drug-resistant tuberculosis bacilli: super extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis or totally drug-resistant strains in iran.
TLDR
The isolation of TDR strains from MDR-TB patients from different regional countries is alarming and underlines the possible dissemination of such strains in Asian countries.
Totally drug‐resistant tuberculosis and adjunct therapies
TLDR
Longer perspectives of drug resistance in TB and potential adjunct treatment options are reviewed to achieve better clinical outcomes in combination with standard chemotherapy.

World Health Organization group 5 drugs for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis: unclear efficacy or untapped potential?
TLDR
Clofazimine and beta-lactams may have unrealized potential in the treatment of DR-tuberculosis and warrant further study, and serious toxicities or intrinsic resistance limit the utility of other group 5 drugs.
Amino acid preferences at protein binding sites
AMINO ACID FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION AT ENZYMATIC ACTIVE SITE
TLDR
The analysis of comparative frequency distribution of enzymes catalytic residues belongs to different organisms and localizations indicates that both Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic membrane and non-membrane enzymes (MEs and nMEs) show high degree of similarity in the overall percentage distribution of charged and polar residues at their active site.
