Tuberculosis: current scenario, drug targets, and future prospects

AbstractGlobally recognized genetic modification with time has supported the emergence of versatile and novel featured organisms in nature, some of which can be analogized with Pandora ’s box elements; likeMycobacterium sp. which has revived itself again after again in a repetitive order over decades and, gradually, contriving a red alert on the world health graph. It needs to be rectified with the motivation of new drug approval considering the pipe line moieties or, apt a choice from the existing drug genera. Although, with genetic modification and advancementMycobacterium tuberculosis has ruined the first-line therapy in ash, it also opens up different loops and wholes to drug susceptibility. New moieties: Tiliacorinine, 2 ′-nortiliacorinine, tiliacorine or Cyclohexylgriselimycin raised from different sources of nature, have given another opportunity for the survival, besides, new approved drugs, like bedaquiline, delamanid, pyrifazimine, telacebec, or the under focused pharmacophores; such as diarylquinoline, quino lones, ethylurea benzimidazole, etc. are the appreciable efforts achieved. Thereupon, InhA, KatG, Clp proteases, Menaquinone, DNA gyrase, VDR Fok1, etc. are the new target sets for the drug discovery which has immense potency to generate a number of targeted molecules with effective anti-TB activity . It is a critical discussion of the TB futuristic approach including, clinical trials, repurposed drugs, pipeline motifs, natural products, upcoming drug targe...
