Adjuvant therapies against tuberculosis: Discovery of a 2-aminothiazole targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis energetics

AIM: To evaluate the activity of the 2-aminothiazole UPAR-174 following an unexplored approach: targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis with lipophilic compounds that present antituberculosis and efflux inhibitory activity. METHODS: Antituberculosis activity was assessed against replicating, nonreplicating and intracellular bacilli. Its capacity to inhibit active efflux was determined. ATP quantification and membrane potential analysis were performed. Intracellular activity […]
