摘要

Tuberculosis remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity, killing each year more than two million people. Although the combined use of three first line antibiotics (Izoniazid, Rifampicin, and Pyrazinamide) is efficient to treat most patients, the rapid emergence of multi drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, stresses the need for alternative therapies. Ethionamide (ETH), a second-line antibiotic is one of the most widely used drugs for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, however its general use has been debated because of the risk of hepatotoxicity. Ethionamide is a prodrug activated by the mycobacterial enzyme EthA, a protein belonging to the Flavin-containing monooxygenase famil. The active form of ethionamide1 inhibits InhA, the enoyl-acyl ACP reductase involved in mycolic acid biosynthesis.
