Abstract

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease which remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Scientists are currently engaging both experimental and theoretical methods to seek solution to this deadly disease

Highlights

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by gram-positive bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)

  • The ability of drug-like compound to receive electron from nearby compounds explains the role of ELUMO in drug design; N-(4-(3,4difluorophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)-2-(3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1yl)acetamide (Compound 6) with -1.61eV is expected to inhibit better than other studied compounds

  • As reported by Oyewole et al.,[24] unpredictable properties of drug-like molecules may occur as a result of very large dipole moment value; all the studied compounds is expected to have strong non-bonded connections Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv

Summary

Introduction

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by gram-positive bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Mtb frequently attacks the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can harm other part of the body.[1] TB remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide.[2] According to Burel et al, more than 1.2 million TB deaths have been recorded among both young and old globally.[3] Anti-tubercular drugs include isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RMP), pyrazinamide, ethambutol and streptomycin (SM). Anti-tubercular drugs include isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RMP), pyrazinamide, ethambutol and streptomycin (SM)
