The unusual structure and chemical composition of the mycobacterial cell wall, the tedious duration of therapy, and resistance developed by the microorganism have made the recurrence of the disease multidrug resistance and extensive or extreme drug resistance. The prevalence of tuberculosis in synergy with HIV/AIDS epidemic augments the risk of developing the disease by 100-fold. The need to synthesize new drugs that will shorten the total duration of effective treatment and/or significantly reduce the dosage taken under DOTS supervision, improve on the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis which defies the treatment with isoniazid and rifampicin, and provide effective treatment for latent TB infections which is essential for eliminating tuberculosis prompted this review. In this review, we considered the synthesis and structure activity relationship study of carboxamide derivatives with antitubercular potential.
分枝杆菌细胞壁异常的结构和化学成分、冗长的治疗周期以及微生物产生的耐药性,使得该疾病复发出现多重耐药和广泛或极度耐药情况。结核病的流行与艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情协同作用,使患病风险增加了100倍。合成能够缩短有效治疗总时长和/或显著减少在直接观察治疗(DOTS)监督下服用剂量的新药,改进对耐异烟肼和利福平的耐多药结核病的治疗,并为潜伏性结核感染提供有效治疗(这对消除结核病至关重要)的需求促使了本次综述。在本综述中,我们考虑了具有抗结核潜力的羧酰胺衍生物的合成及构效关系研究。
