A series of target 4-substituted-5-(2-(pyridine-2-ylamino)ethyl)-2,4-dihydro-3-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones and their chloro analogs - were synthesized in a reaction of the selected aldehydes with the corresponding 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones and , which were obtained from 3-(pyridin-2-ylamino)propanoic acid () or 3-((5-chloropyridin-2-yl)amino)propanoic acid (), respectively, with thioacetohydrazide. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the synthesized hydrazones were screened against the bacteria , , and and the fungi and by agar diffusion and serial dilution methods. 4-Amino-5-(2-((5-chloropyridin-2-yl)amino)ethyl)-2,4-dihydro-3-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione () and 4-(benzylideneamino)-5-(2-(pyridin-2-ylamino)ethyl)-2,4-dihydro-3-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione () were identified as exceptionally active (MIC 0.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis enters the body through the respiratory tract, produces and releases virulence proteins through a variety of mechanisms, regulates the host immune mechanism through a variety of ways, and then survives in the body for a long time. These depend on virulence genes encoded by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Previous studies found that the Rv3435c gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is highly conserved in pathogenic mycobacterium, but not conserved in non-pathogenic mycobacterium, which may be a potential virulence gene, and inhibit the secretion of inflammatory factors in RAW264.

UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvoylglucosamine reductase ( from has gathered significant pharmaceutical interest as a pivotal target because of its essential role in bacterial viability. This study employed computational methods to screen and assess the inhibitory potential of dicoumarol derivatives against the protein. A diverse set of dicoumarols, sourced from PubChem and Zinc database, is subjected to molecular docking, ADME studies, and MD simulations to elucidate interacting modes and stability.

Background: Standard multidrug therapy for leprosy may be associated with severe side effects, which add to the stigma and discrimination that affect persons with the disease. In addition, the threat posed by drug-resistant leprosy shows the need for alternative drug combinations and shorter, safer regimens of multidrug therapy.
Methods: In this open-label, proof-of-concept study conducted in Brazil, we assigned patients with previously untreated multibacillary leprosy to receive bedaquiline monotherapy for 8 weeks.
