Nosiheptide Harbors Potent <i>In Vitro</i> and Intracellular Inhbitory Activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

This study is aimed at chemotherapy for MDR-TB, mainly to explore the anti-TB activity of the existing chemotherapeutic reagent. We found that NOS has potent inhibitory activities against M. tuberculosis in vitro regardless of the drug-resistant profile. Furthermore, NOS also showed the long PAE and partial synergistic effect with INH and is nontoxic, providing support for its promise as a drug candidate for drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment.
