Targets for the development of new anti-tubercular agents
Abstract
In the developing world it is necessary to develop noval drugs to improve the control of tuberculosis. The global resurgence of tuberculosis and rampant drug resistance has urged the importance for the development of new anti tubercular agents, which address different targets, as those of currently used. This review is on development of new target based anti tubercular agents. In this review we have also attempted to look at the current status of anti tubercular drugs to overcome the persistent drug resistant problem and shortening the TB therapy.
