Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by the formation of noncaseating epithelioid granulomas. Clinically significant renal involvement is rare in sarcoidosis. It most commonly manifests as chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis and nephrocalcinosis with nephrolithiasis.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains a significant global public health issue with high mortality rates and challenges posed by drug-resistant strains, emphasizing the continued need for new therapeutic targets and effective treatment strategies. Transcriptomics is a highly effective tool for the development of novel anti-tuberculosis drugs. However, most studies focus only on changes in gene expression levels at specific time points.

Elongation factor G (EF-G) is essential for protein synthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), positioning it as a promising target for anti-tubercular drug development. This study employs Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD) to identify potential small molecule inhibitors that specifically target EF-G. Initially, binding hotspots on EF-G were pinpointed, and the binding modes of various compounds were analyzed.

Background: Maintenance immunosuppression is required for suppression of alloimmunity or allograft rejection. However, continuous use of immunosuppressants may lead to various side effects, necessitating the use of alternative immunosuppressive drugs. The early secreted antigenic target of 6 kDa (ESAT-6) is a virulence factor and immunoregulatory protein of mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which alters host immunity through dually regulating development or activation of various immune cells.
