antitubercular

None of these discoveries would be of much interest outside the lab were it not for some chance observations made in the early 1950s—that, for instance, an antitubercular drug that had induced an unexpected (although not unwelcome) euphoria inhibited an enzyme that breaks down serotonin, or that lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), already famous for its profound effects on consciousness, has a chemical structure similar to serotonin.

In the next year, Roche, which had all but abandoned iproniazid as an antitubercular, sold the drug to four hundred thousand presumably happy, or at least less unhappy, customers.

Six months of treatment with several antitubercular drugs (isoniazid, rifampin and pyrazinamide are the most common) costs under $300 and will almost always cure TB.

One reason TB-control programs are so important is that antitubercular drugs are such tricky instruments.

Tuberculosis: A Deadly Return 2008

Improvements in nutrition, hygiene and hospital care had kept the disease in almost steady decline throughout the first half of the century, and the free fall had continued since the advent of antitubercular drugs in the 1950s.

In them changes take place that prove the specific antitubercular action of the remedy in a most surprising way.

Prof. Koch's Method to Cure Tuberculosis Popularly Treated Max Birnbaum 1876

The discovery and characterization of new drugs targeting key enzymes involved in essential mycobacterial biosynthetic pathways is paramount but without the introduction of novel lead compounds, such as platensimycin antitubercular therapy will not proceed fast enough to cope with the increasing resistance observed today.
