Progress in role of novel anti-tuberculosis drug targets and their inhibitors

Abstract:

There is an urgent need to discover new anti-tuberculosis compounds with novel mechanisms of action in order to deal with tuberculosis and drug-resistant tuberculosis. In this article, the feature of several promising novel compounds with potential anti-tuberculosis activities is summarized, focusing on the drug targets of these compounds. These summaries will contribute to the further development of anti-tuberculosis drugs.
