Thiosemicarbazole (thiacetazone-like) compound with activity against Mycobacterium avium in mice.

چکیده
In vitro screening of thiacetazone derivatives indicated that two derivatives, SRI-286 and SRI-224, inhibited a panel of 25 Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) isolates at concentrations of 2 micro g/ml or lower. In mice, SRI-224 and thiacetazone had no significant activity against the MAC in livers and spleens, but treatment with SRI-286 resulted in significant reduction of bacterial loads in livers and spleens. A combination of SRI-286 and moxifloxacin was significantly more active than single drug regimens in liver and spleen.

Synthesis and Antimycobacterial Activity of Symmetric Thiocarbohydrazone Derivatives against Mycobacterium bovis BCG
In this work, we reported the synthesis and evaluation of antimycobacterial and antifungalactivity of a series of thiocarbohydrazone derivatives which are thiacetazone congeners. Thetarget compounds were synthesized in superior yields by reacting thiocarbohydrazide withdifferent aromatic aldehydes and methyl ketones. Compounds 8, 19 and 25 were found to bethe most potent derivatives, exhibiting...

متن کاملTelithromycin is active against Mycobacterium avium in mice despite lacking significant activity in standard in vitro and macrophage assays and is associated with low frequency of resistance during treatment.
The activity of telithromycin, a new ketolide, was evaluated in vitro and in vivo against Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) strains. The MIC of telithromycin for several M. avium isolates obtained from the blood of AIDS patients ranged from 16 to >128 microg/ml (MIC at which 90% of isolates are inhibited, >128 microg/ml), and the compound did show activity in the macrophage system at concentrat...
متن کاملActivity of moxifloxacin against mycobacteria.
Moxifloxacin is an 8-methoxyquinolone compound with activity against a wide range of bacteria. We tested its activity in comparison with four other quinolones and isoniazid against clinical isolates of mycobacteria. It proved to be the most active of the quinolones tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC90 0.25 mg/L), Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MIC90 1.0 mg/L), Mycobacterium kan...
متن کاملAirway delivery of interferon‐γ overexpressing macrophages confers resistance to Mycobacterium avium infection in SCID mice
Mycobacterium avium (M. avium) causes significant pulmonary infection, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) represent the first line of host defense against infection in the lung. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) activation of AMs enhances in vitro killing of pathogens such as M. avium We hypothesized that airway delivery of AMs into the lungs of immunodeficient mice infect...
