Recent Efforts for the Development of Antitubercular Drug Containing Diazine Ring

Abstract

Mohammad Asif

There has been considerable interest in the development of new molecule with antibacterial activities particularly against tuberclosis because mycobacterium species have developed resistant against currently used drugs, their toxic effect and long duration of therapy. The diazine (pyridazine, pyrimidine and piperazine) derivatives possess an important class of compound for new drugs research and development. Therefore, many researchers have synthesized these compounds as target structures and evaluated their antitubercular activity. These observations have been guiding for the development of new molecules that possess potent antitubercular activity with minimum side effects or effective against MDR, XDR mycobacterium strains, and also in patient co-infected with HIV/AIDS.
