On the basis of the structural similarity of N-substituted glycolamides with N-glycolyl muramic acid residues of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a series of these compounds were designed and synthesized by the reaction of glycolic acid acetonide 1 (2,2-dimethyl-5-oxo-1,3-dioxolane) with the proper amines. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined against M. tuberculosis H(37)Rv in BACTEC 12B medium, using the Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA). Among the synthesized compounds, all those with disubstituted amide structure accompanied by one or two heteroatom(s) with loan pair(s) of electrons atom(s) beta to the amide nitrogen demonstrated moderate anti-tuberculosis activity and all the monosubstituted amides showed no activity at all.

Disruption of the mycobacterial redox homeostasis leads to irreversible stress induction and cell death. Hydroquinone scaffolds, as a new type of redox cycling anti-tuberculosis chemotypes, exhibit potent bactericidal activity against non-replicating, nutrient-deprived phenotypically drug-resistant bacteria. Evidences from microbiological, biochemical, and genetic studies indicate that the redox-driven mode of action relies on the reduction of quinones by type II NADH dehydrogenase (NDH2), generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) of bactericidal level.

Heterocyclic compounds, especially those containing the pyrazole moiety, are highly significant in organic chemistry and possess remarkable and diverse biological properties. The 5-aminopyrazole derivatives are key starting materials for the synthesis of numerous bioactive compounds such as pyrazolopyridine, pyrazolopyrimidine, pyrazoloquinazoline, and pyrazolotriazine derivatives. Many compounds inspired by the 5-aminopyrazole derivatives possess a wide spectrum of biological activities and medicinal applications such as antioxidants, anticancer agents, enzyme inhibitors, antimicrobials, and anti-tuberculosis activities.

Background: The common diagnostic methods for tuberculosis have been showing reduced sensitivity among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. This study was conducted to evaluate and analyse the diagnostic value of an interferon-γ release assay in COPD patients complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods: A nested case-control study was conducted on 123 COPD patients hospitalized at the Fifth Hospital of Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, from January 2019 to June 2021.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging opportunistic pathogens with limited treatment options due to resistance to multiple antibiotic classes. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of omadacycline and comparator antibiotics against rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) clinical isolates. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) evaluation of RGM clinical isolates was performed by two independent laboratories (EU and Japan).
