Inhibitive Enhancement of Isoniasid Treatment on Mycobacterium Tuberculosis through Triterpenoid Carbocylic Acid from Red Algae Euchema Spinosum
نویسنده
چکیده
Anti-mycobacterial bioactivity of non polar compounds from red algae Euchema spinosum of Barang Lompo Island was studied. A triterpenoid carbocylic acid has been isolated from the chloroform fraction of Euchema spinosum, and its structure was determined by spectroscopic evidences including IR and 2D NMR and compared to previous data. The isolate was active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis at concentration 4 μg/mL, and could also increase the sensitivity of this pathogen to isoniasid drug. These studies suggest that anti-mycobacterial triterpenoid carbocylic acid in combination with isoniasid may play an important role in host defence against M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv.

متن کاملEvaluation of Gene Mutations Involved in Drug Resistance in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Strains Derived from Tuberculosis Patients in Mazandaran, Iran, 2013
Drug resistance (especially multiple drug resistance) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis makes global concerns in treatment and control of tuberculosis. Rapid diagnosis of drug resistant strains of the bacteria has vital importance in the prognosis of the disease. The aim of this study was to identify the mutations responsible for drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains derived from pa...
متن کاملDetection of Ethambutol-Resistant Associated Mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Iran Using Multiplex Allele-Specific PCR
Tuberculosis is a serious global public health problem and its high prevalence is stron gly associated with the enhancement of drug resistance. In this study we demonstrate a multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (MAS)-PCR assay to simultaneously detect mutations in the first and third bases of the embB gene codon 306 ATG in ethambutol (EMB) resistant isolates of Mycobacterium t...
متن کاملFunctional drug screening reveals anticonvulsants as enhancers of mTOR-independent autophagic killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through inositol depletion
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) remains a major challenge to global health made worse by the spread of multidrug resistance. We therefore examined whether stimulating intracellular killing of mycobacteria through pharmacological enhancement of macroautophagy might provide a novel therapeutic strategy. Despite the resistance of MTB to killing by basal autophagy, cell-based screening of FDA-appr...
متن کاملGenotyping of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Isolated from Suspected Patients in Tehran in 2015-2017
Background and Aims: Unlike many global efforts to eradicate tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium, it remains as a life-threatening infection with a worldwide incidence of 1.5 million cases each year. However, due to the lack of information about Mycobacterium tuberculosis characterization, more studies are required to evaluate strain diversity and epidemiology of tuberculosis to improve the th...
