Synergistic combination of antimicrobial peptide and isoniazid as inhalable dry powder formulation against multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. Int J Pharm 2024; 654:123960. [PMID: 38447778 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.123960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has posed a serious threat to global public health, and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged to be promising candidates to tackle this deadly infectious disease. Previous study has suggested that two AMPs, namely D-LAK120-A and D-LAK120-HP13, can potentiate the effect of isoniazid (INH) against mycobacteria. In this study, the strategy of combining INH and D-LAK peptide as a dry powder formulation for inhalation was explored. The antibacterial effect of INH and D-LAK combination was first evaluated on three MDR clinical isolates of Mycobacteria tuberculosis (Mtb). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and fractional inhibitory concentration indexes (FICIs) were determined. The combination was synergistic against Mtb with FICIs ranged from 0.25 to 0.38. The INH and D-LAK peptide at 2:1 mole ratio (equivalent to 1: 10 mass ratio) was identified to be optimal. This ratio was adopted for the preparation of dry powder formulation for pulmonary delivery, with mannitol used as bulking excipient. Spherical particles with mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of around 5 µm were produced by spray drying. The aerosol performance of the spray dried powder was moderate, as evaluated by the Next Generation Impactor (NGI), with emitted fraction and fine particle fraction of above 70 % and 45 %, respectively. The circular dichroism spectra revealed that both D-LAK peptides retained their secondary structure after spray drying, and the antibacterial effect of the combination against the MDR Mtb clinical isolates was successfully preserved. The combination was found to be effective against MDR Mtb isolates with KatG or InhA mutations. Overall, the synergistic combination of INH with D-LAK peptide formulated as inhaled dry powder offers a new therapeutic approach against MDR-TB.

Abstract
Background High-dose isoniazid is recommended in the 9-12 months short-course regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis with inhA mutation. However, there is insufficient evidence to support the assumption of genotypic-phenotypic concordance. This study aimed to identify the genetic mutations associated with high-level phenotypic isoniazid resistance. Methods Clinical isolates from patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis were profiled by whole-genome sequencing and subjected to minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing using MGIT based-method. MICs were performed in concentration ranges based on the mutation present: isolates with no isoniazid resistance-conferring mutations and H37Rv, 0.016-0.256 µg/ml; inhA, 0.256-4.0 µg/ml, katG 1.0-16.0 µg/ml; and inhA + katG, 4.0-64.0 µg/ml. Isolates demonstrating resistance at the upper limit of the concentration range were tested up to the maximum of 64.0 µg/ml. Bootstrap of the mean MICs was performed to increase the robustness of the estimates and an overlap index was used to compare the distributions of the MICs for each mutation profile. Results A total of 52 clinical isolates were included in this analysis. Bootstrap MIC means for inhA, katG and inhA + katG were 33.64 (95% CI, 9.47, 56.90), 6.79 (4.45, 9.70) and 52.34 (42.750, 61.66) µg/ml, respectively. There was high overlap between inhA and inhA + katG mutations (eta = 0.45) but not with inhA and katG (eta = 0.19). Furthermore, katG showed poor overlap with inhA + katG mutations (eta = 0.09). Unexpectedly, 4/8 (50.0%) of all InhA mutants demonstrated high-level resistance, while 20/24 (83.3%) of katG mutants demonstrated moderate-level resistance. Conclusions InhA mutations demonstrated unexpectedly high MICs and showed high overlap with inhA + katG. Contrary to the common belief that katG mutants are associated with high-level resistance, this mutation primarily showed moderate-level resistance.

Abstract
Genetically antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is currently one of the most important aspects of tuberculosis, considering that there are emerging resistant strains for almost every known drug used for its treatment. There are multiple antimicrobials used for tuberculosis treatment, and the most effective ones are the first-line drugs, which include isoniazid, pyrazinamide, rifampicin, and ethambutol. In this context, understanding the mechanisms of action and resistance of these molecules is essential for proposing new therapies and strategies of treatment. Additionally, understanding how and where mutations arise conferring a resistance profile to the bacteria and their effect on bacterial metabolism is an important requisite to be taken in producing safer and less susceptible drugs to the emergence of resistance. In this review, we summarize the most recent literature regarding novel mutations reported between 2017 and 2022 and the advances in the molecular mechanisms of action and resistance against first-line drugs used in tuberculosis treatment, highlighting recent findings in pyrazinamide resistance involving PanD and, additionally, resistance-conferring mutations for novel drugs such as bedaquiline, pretomanid, delamanid and linezolid.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of drug susceptibility for tuberculosis (TB) patients could guide the timely initiation of effective treatment. We evaluated a novel multiplex xMAP TIER (Tuberculosis-Isoniazid-Ethambutol-Rifampicin) assay based on the Luminex xMAP system to detect first-line anti-tuberculous drug resistance. Deoxyribonucleic acid samples from 353 Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates were amplified by multiplex polymerase chain reaction, followed by hybridization and analysis through the xMAP system. Compared with the broth microdilution method, the sensitivity and specificity of the xMAP TIER assay for detecting resistance was 94.9% (95%CI, 90.0-99.8%) and 98.9% (95%CI, 97.7-100.0%) for rifampicin; 89.1% (95%CI, 83.9-94.3%) and 100.0% (95%CI, 100.0-100.0%) for isoniazid; 82.1% (95% CI, 68.0-96.3%) and 99.7% (95% CI, 99.0-100.0%) for ethambutol. With DNA sequencing as the reference standard, the sensitivity and specificity of xMAP TIER for detecting resistance were 95.0% (95% CI, 90.2-99.8%) and 99.6% (95% CI, 98.9-100.0%) for rifampicin; 96.9% (95% CI, 93.8-99.9%) and 100.0% (95% CI, 100.0-100.0%) for isoniazid; 86.1% (95% CI, 74.8-97.4%) and 100.0% (95% CI, 100.0-100.0%) for ethambutol. The results achieved showed that the xMAP TIER assay had good performance for detecting first-line anti-tuberculosis drug resistance, and it has the potential to diagnose drug-resistant tuberculosis more accurately due to the addition of more optimal design primers and probes on open architecture xMAP system.

Abstract
Drug resistance in tuberculosis is exacerbating the threat this disease is posing to human beings. Antibiotics that were once effective against the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), are now no longer usable against multi- and extensively drug-resistant strains of this pathogen. To address this issue, new drug combinations and novel methods for targeted drug delivery could be of considerable value. In addition, studies have shown that the use of the antidepressant drug fluoxetine, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, can be useful in the treatment of infectious diseases, including bacterial infections. In this study, an isoniazid and fluoxetine-conjugated multi-walled carbon nanotube nanofluid were designed to increase drug delivery efficiency alongside eliminating drug resistance in vitro. The prepared nanofluid was tested against Mtb. Expression levels of inhA and katG mRNAs were detected by Real-time PCR. ELISA was applied to measure levels of cytokine secretion (TNF-α, and IL-6) from infected macrophages treated with the nano delivery system. The results showed that these nano-drug delivery systems are effective for fluoxetine at far lower doses than for free drugs. Fluoxetine also has an additive effect on the effect of isoniazid, and their concomitant use in the delivery system can have significant effects in treating infection of all clinical strains of Mtb. In addition, it was found that the expression of isoniazid resistance genes, including inhA, katG, and the secretion of cytokines TNFα and IL6 under the influence of this drug delivery system is well regulated. It was shown that the drug conjugation can improve the antibacterial activity of them in all strains and these two drugs have an additive effect on each other both in free and conjugated forms. This nano-drug delivery method combined with host targeted molecules could be a game-changer in the development of a new generation of antibiotics that have high therapeutic efficiencies, low side effects, and the potential to overcome the problem of drug resistance.

Abstract
Antimicrobials are a type of agent widely used to prevent various microbial infections in humans and animals. Antimicrobial resistance is a major cause of clinical antimicrobial therapy failure, and it has become a major public health concern around the world. Increasing the development of multiple antimicrobials has become available for humans and animals with no appropriate guidance. As a result, inappropriate use of antimicrobials has significantly produced antimicrobial resistance. However, an increasing number of infections such as sepsis are untreatable due to this antimicrobial resistance. In either case, life-saving drugs are rendered ineffective in most cases. The actual causes of antimicrobial resistance are complex and versatile. A lack of adequate health services, unoptimized use of antimicrobials in humans and animals, poor water and sanitation systems, wide gaps in access and research and development in healthcare technologies, and environmental pollution have vital impacts on antimicrobial resistance. This current review will highlight the natural history and basics of the development of antimicrobials, the relationship between antimicrobial use in humans and antimicrobial use in animals, the simplistic pathways, and mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, and how to control the spread of this resistance.

Abstract
Background: Pyrazinamide is one of the most important first-line medications for the treatment of tuberculosis and an alternative intake for MDR-TB and XDR-TB patients. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate resistance to pyrazinamide in the isolates resistant to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug in patients in the city of Isfahan. Methods: In this study, the drug susceptibility test was performed with pyrazinamide using the proportion method and PZA assay on 47 isolates resistant to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Then, the mutations of the pncA and rpsA genes of the isolates resistant to pyrazinamide were evaluated by the sequencing method. Results: According to the proportion method, 19 cases were resistant to pyrazinamide, 16 of which had mutations in their pncA and rpsA genes. Besides, five new mutations were recorded, and three isolates lacked mutations in the mentioned genes. Conclusions: Pyrazinamide resistance is high in MDR-TB and INH mono-resistant isolates. Therefore, evaluating the susceptibility to pyrazinamide in patients with MDR-TB before the initiation of treatment with pyrazinamide is considered essential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) are the two most effective first-line antibiotic drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). The new FluoroType MTBDR (FT-MTBDR) real-time PCR is intended to detect INH and RIF resistance mutations as a second step following a primary Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) PCR. Here we evaluate the feasibility of the FT-MTBDR assay to detect simultaneously MTBC-specific DNA as well as to detect potential INH and RIF resistance through analysing inhA promotor, katG and rpoB sequences in one PCR reaction. METHODS We analysed 3885 consecutive primary samples with FT-MTBDR and compared the results with microscopy and culture: 978 were from sputum, 2007 from other respiratory tract locations plus gastric lavages, and 875 from extrapulmonary locations, respectively. RESULTS Overall, 176 samples were MTBC culture positive and 139 FT-MTBDR positive, providing a FT-MTBDR sensitivity of 0.714 (95% confidence interval 0.640-0.779) and specificity of 0.996 (0.994-0.998), respectively. For the 978 sputum, 96 were MTBC culture positive and 89 FT-MTBDR positive, sensitivity 0.854 (0.764-0.915) and specificity 0.992 (0.983-0.997). Of the 139 MTBC positive, 99 (71%) had interpretable genotypic resistance results for at least one drug, 92 (66%) for both drugs. DISCUSSION The ability of FT-MTBDR to detect MTBC is adequate with the significant added feature of simultaneous genotypic resistance detection of both INH and RIF in a single PCR reaction.

Abstract
BD MAX MDR-TB assay is a new molecular platform for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in clinical specimens and simultaneous detection of resistance toward isoniazid and rifampicin. This study assessed the assay's diagnostic accuracy by using pre-characterized MTBC culture-negative (n = 257), smear-negative/MTBC culture-positive (n = 93), and smear-positive/MTBC culture-positive (n = 153) respiratory specimens. Compared with culture, the overall sensitivity and specificity of BD MAX MDR-TB were 86.6% and 100%, respectively; sensitivities for smear-positive and smear-negative samples were 100% and 64.5%. Sensitivity and specificity for isoniazid and rifampicin resistance were 58.3% (biased low due to sample collection strategy in low prevalence setting), 99.3%, 100%, and 98.2%, compared with phenotypic drug resistance testing and 100%, 99.4%, 100%, and 99.4%, compared with GenoType MTBDRplus. In conclusion, BD MAX MDR-TB is an accurate assay for the diagnostic detection of MTBC in respiratory samples and its resistance toward the most important anti-TB drugs isoniazid and rifampicin. Due to its medium to high throughput, good validity, and ease of use, the assay will be of great benefit for medium-sized to large TB diagnostic centers.

Abstract
Isoniazid (INH) is converted into isonicotinyl radical through its interaction with the catalase-peroxidase (katG) enzyme present in the cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb.), the bacteria that causes the tuberculosis disease. This process is important because resistance of M. tb. cells to INH treatment has been associated with the failure of completion of this process. However, this process is poorly understood and there are a variety of conflicting theories about the details of the mechanism of this process. One theory suggests that INH binds to katG and transfers a single electron to the heme while the heme is in its two electron oxidized state, compound I [Fe(iv)Por˙+] (CpdI). In this study, DFT calculations at the UB3LYP/6-31g(d)-LANL2DZ level of theory are used to study the M. tb. katG CpdI molecule. Different models of the M. tb. CpdI molecule were prepared and the calculations revealed the impact of Trp321 on the electronic properties of the heme. Without Trp321 the heme assumed a triradical state with single electrons on the πxy and πyz orbitals of Fe and another on the a2u orbital of the porphyrin ring that can either be coupled with the first two, to assume a quartet state, or decoupled to form a doublet state. With Trp321, however, a transfer of an electron from the πTrp orbital to a2u porphyrin orbital leads to loss of radical character of the porphyrin and leaves the Trp321 group with a radical character. INH was observed to have strong interaction with CpdI and the absence of Trp321 significantly decreased the binding energy by 2 kcal mol-1 explaining the importance of Trp321 in the binding of INH. The results in this study show the importance of Trp321 in the binding of INH and its effect on its electronic properties, which is consistent with previous experimental findings that mutation of Trp321 results in an increase in drug resistance.

Abstract
Isoniazid (INH) is known to cause the exclusive lethal action to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb.) cells because of the pathogen's own catalase-peroxidase (katG) enzyme that converts INH to a very reactive radical. Thus, in order to gain insights on the interaction of INH with the individual active site residues (Res) of katG, this study presents a computational approach via molecular docking and density functional theory (DFT) using augmented models to study the individual INH-Res interactions. Seven amino acid residues directly interacts with INH: Arg104, Asp137, His108, Ile228, Trp107, Tyr229, and Val230. The residues with the highest interaction energies are Arg104 (-39.64 kcal/mol) and Asp137 (-32.85 kcal/mol) mainly due to strong ion-dipole and H-bonding interactions present in the complexes, while the weakest interaction was observed for Ile228 (-13.78 kcal/mol). Molecular electrostatic potential surface revealed complementary regions for dipole interactions and charge distribution analysis further shows that INH generally donates electrons to the residues. The results in this study agrees with the previous experimental findings and provides new insights into the catalase dependent activation of INH and the methods presented may be valuable in the study of biological metabolism of molecules.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a serious human pathogen threat exhibiting complex evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Accordingly, the many publicly available datasets describing its AMR characteristics demand disparate data-type analyses. Here, we develop a reference strain-agnostic computational platform that uses machine learning approaches, complemented by both genetic interaction analysis and 3D structural mutation-mapping, to identify signatures of AMR evolution to 13 antibiotics. This platform is applied to 1595 sequenced strains to yield four key results. First, a pan-genome analysis shows that M. tuberculosis is highly conserved with sequenced variation concentrated in PE/PPE/PGRS genes. Second, the platform corroborates 33 genes known to confer resistance and identifies 24 new genetic signatures of AMR. Third, 97 epistatic interactions across 10 resistance classes are revealed. Fourth, detailed structural analysis of these genes yields mechanistic bases for their selection. The platform can be used to study other human pathogens.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for the development of shorter, simpler and more tolerable drugs to treat antibiotic tolerant populations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We previously identified a series of hydrazones active against M. tuberculosis. We selected five representative compounds for further analysis. All compounds were active against non-replicating M. tuberculosis, with two compounds demonstrating greater activity under hypoxic conditions than aerobic culture. Compounds had bactericidal activity with MBC/MIC of < 4 and demonstrated an inoculum-dependent effect against aerobically replicating bacteria. Bacterial kill kinetics demonstrated a faster rate of kill against non-replicating bacilli generated by nutrient starvation. Compounds had limited activity against other bacterial species. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that hydrazones have some attractive properties in terms of their anti-tubercular activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of antibiotics against M. tuberculosis has been shown to be influenced by experimental media conditions. Investigations of M. tuberculosis growth in physiological conditions have described an environment that is different from common in vitro media. Thus, elucidating the interplay between available nutrient sources and antibiotic efficacy has clear medical relevance. While genome-scale reconstructions of M. tuberculosis have enabled the ability to interrogate media differences for the past 10 years, recent reconstructions have diverged from each other without standardization. A unified reconstruction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv would elucidate the impact of different nutrient conditions on antibiotic efficacy and provide new insights for therapeutic intervention. RESULTS We present a new genome-scale model of M. tuberculosis H37Rv, named iEK1011, that unifies and updates previous M. tuberculosis H37Rv genome-scale reconstructions. We functionally assess iEK1011 against previous models and show that the model increases correct gene essentiality predictions on two different experimental datasets by 6% (53% to 60%) and 18% (60% to 71%), respectively. We compared simulations between in vitro and approximated in vivo media conditions to examine the predictive capabilities of iEK1011. The simulated differences recapitulated literature defined characteristics in the rewiring of TCA metabolism including succinate secretion, gluconeogenesis, and activation of both the glyoxylate shunt and the methylcitrate cycle. To assist efforts to elucidate mechanisms of antibiotic resistance development, we curated 16 metabolic genes related to antimicrobial resistance and approximated evolutionary drivers of resistance. Comparing simulations of these antibiotic resistance features between in vivo and in vitro media highlighted condition-dependent differences that may influence the efficacy of antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS iEK1011 provides a computational knowledge base for exploring the impact of different environmental conditions on the metabolic state of M. tuberculosis H37Rv. As more experimental data and knowledge of M. tuberculosis H37Rv become available, a unified and standardized M. tuberculosis model will prove to be a valuable resource to the research community studying the systems biology of M. tuberculosis.

Abstract
The rapid and robust identification of mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains mediating multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) phenotypes is crucial to combating the MDR tuberculosis (TB) epidemic. Currently available molecular anti-TB drug susceptibility tests either are restricted to a single target or drug (i.e., the Xpert MTB/RIF test) or present a risk of cross-contamination due to the design limitations of the open platform (i.e., line probe assays). With a good understanding of the technical and commercial boundaries, we designed a test cartridge based on an oligonucleotide array into which dried reagents are introduced and which has the ability to identify MTBC strains resistant to isoniazid, rifampin, and the fluoroquinolones. The melting curve assay interrogates 43 different mutations in the rifampin resistance-determining region (RRDR) of rpoB, rpoB codon 572, katG codon 315, the inhA promoter region, and the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) of gyrA in a closed cartridge system within 90 min. Assay performance was evaluated with 265 clinical MTBC isolates, including MDR/XDR, non-MDR, and fully susceptible isolates, from a drug resistance survey performed in Swaziland in 2009 and 2010. In 99.5% of the cases, the results were consistent with data previously acquired utilizing Sanger sequencing. The assay, which uses a closed cartridge system in combination with a battery-powered Alere q analyzer and which has the potential to extend the current gene target panel, could serve as a rapid and robust point-of-care test in settings lacking a comprehensive molecular laboratory infrastructure to differentiate TB patients infected with MDR and non-MDR strains and to assist clinicians with their early treatment decisions.

Abstract
This manuscript describes our experience in early identifying MDR-TB cases in high-risk populations by setting up a single-referral molecular diagnosis laboratory in Taiwan. Taiwan Centers for Disease Control designated a single-referral laboratory to provide the GenoType MTBDRplus test for screening high-risk MDR-TB populations nationwide in 2012-2015. A total of 5,838 sputum specimens from 3,308 patients were tested within 3 days turnaround time. Compared with the conventional culture and drug susceptibility testing, the overall performance of the GenoType MTBDRplus test for detecting TB infection showed accuracy of 70.7%, sensitivity of 85.9%, specificity of 65.7%, positive predictive value of 45.5%, and negative predictive value of 93.3%. And the accuracy of detecting rifampin (RIF) resistance, isoniazid (INH) resistance, and MDR-TB (resistant to at least RIF and INH) were 96.5%, 95.2%, and 97.7%, respectively. MDR-TB contacts presented a higher rate of mutated codons 513-519, GenoType MTBDRplus banding pattern: rpoB WT3(-), and rpoB WT4(-) than the treatment failure group. The MDR-TB contact group also had a higher rate of inhA C15T mutation, banding pattern: inhA WT1(-), and inhA MUT1(+) than the recurrent group. Resistance profiles of MDR-TB isolates also varied geographically. The referral molecular diagnosis system contributed to rapid detection and initiation of appropriate therapy.

Abstract
We analyzed 362 isoniazid-resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis obtained countrywide for the presence of mutation at katG315 and inhA-15 in relation to genotype, pattern of phenotypic resistance to other drugs, and ability to spread. We found the following mutation frequencies: katG315MUT/inhA-15wt 53.0%, katG315wt/inhA-15MUT 27.4%, katG315wt/inhA-15wt 19.3%, and katG315MUT/inhA-15MUT only 0.3%. Mutation at katG315 associated with the LAM superfamily; mutation at inhA-15 associated with the S family and the T1 Tuscany genotype; the combination katG315wt/inhA-15wt associated with the T1 Ghana genotype. Isolates harboring katG315MUT/inhA-15wt tended to accumulate resistance to other drugs and were more frequently found in cluster; isolates harboring katG315wt/inhA-15wt were more frequently found as orphan isolates. Although epidemiological and host factors could also be modulating the events observed, in Argentina, the systematic genotyping of drug resistant clinical isolates could help to predict an enhanced risk of transmission and a propensity to develop resistance to increasing numbers of drugs.

Abstract
A new convenient method for preparation of 2-aroyl-[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one derivatives 5b-g and coumarin containing hydrazide-hydrazone analogues 4a-e was presented. The antimycobacterial activity against reference strain Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and cytotoxicity against the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293 were tested in vitro. All compounds demonstrated significant minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranging 0.28-1.69μM, which were comparable to those of isoniazid. The cytotoxicity (IC50>200µM) to the "normal cell" model HEK-293T exhibited by 2-aroyl-[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one derivatives 5b-e, was noticeably milder compared to that of their hydrazone analogues 4a-e (IC50 33-403µM). Molecular docking studies on compounds 4a-e and 5b-g were also carried out to investigate their binding to the 2-trans-enoyl-ACP reductase (InhA) enzyme involved in M. tuberculosis cell wall biogenesis. The binding model suggested one or more hydrogen bonding and/or arene-H or arene-arene interactions between hydrazones or pyrazole-fused coumarin derivatives and InhA enzyme for all synthesized compounds.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for severe mortality and morbidity worldwide but, under-developed and developing countries are more prone to infection. In search of effective and wide-spectrum anti-tubercular agents, interdisciplinary approaches are being explored. Of the several approaches used, computer based quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) have gained momentum. Structure-based drug design and discovery implies a combined knowledge of accurate prediction of ligand poses with the good prediction and interpretation of statistically validated models derived from the 3D-QSAR approach. The validated models are generally used to screen a small combinatorial library of potential synthetic candidates to identify hits which further subjected to docking to filter out compounds as novel potential emerging drug molecules to address multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Several newer models are integrated to QSAR methods which include different types of chemical and biological data, and simultaneous prediction of pharmacological activities including toxicities and/or other safety profiles to get new compounds with desired activity. In the process, several newer molecules have been identified which are now being assessed for their clinical efficacy. Present review deals with the advances made in the field highlighting overall future prospects of the development of anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Abstract
Only 25% of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases are currently diagnosed. Line probe assays (LPAs) enable rapid drug-susceptibility testing for rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) resistance and Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection. Genotype MTBDRplusV1 was WHO-endorsed in 2008 but newer LPAs have since been developed. This systematic review evaluated three LPAs: Hain Genotype MTBDRplusV1, MTBDRplusV2 and Nipro NTM+MDRTB. Study quality was assessed with QUADAS-2. Bivariate random-effects meta-analyses were performed for direct and indirect testing. Results for RIF and INH resistance were compared to phenotypic and composite (incorporating sequencing) reference standards. M. tuberculosis detection results were compared to culture. 74 unique studies were included. For RIF resistance (21 225 samples), pooled sensitivity and specificity (with 95% confidence intervals) were 96.7% (95.6–97.5%) and 98.8% (98.2–99.2%). For INH resistance (20 954 samples), pooled sensitivity and specificity were 90.2% (88.2–91.9%) and 99.2% (98.7–99.5%). Results were similar for direct and indirect testing and across LPAs. Using a composite reference standard, specificity increased marginally. For M. tuberculosis detection (3451 samples), pooled sensitivity was 94% (89.4–99.4%) for smear-positive specimens and 44% (20.2–71.7%) for smear-negative specimens. In patients with pulmonary TB, LPAs have high sensitivity and specificity for RIF resistance and high specificity and good sensitivity for INH resistance. This meta-analysis provides evidence for policy and practice. Line probe assays have high accuracy for detection of RIF resistance and INH resistancehttp://ow.ly/USX5305tqFV

Abstract
Background Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs is almost exclusively due to spontaneous chromosomal mutations in target genes. Rapid detection of drug resistance to both first- and second-line anti-TB drugs has become a key component of TB control programs. Technologies that allow rapid, cost-effective, and high-throughput detection of specific nucleic acid sequences are needed. This study was to develop a high-throughput assay based on allele-specific primer extension (ASPE) and MagPlex-TAG microspheres to detect anti-TB drug resistance mutations. Methods DNA samples from 357 M. tuberculosis clinical isolates and H37Rv were amplified by multiplex PCR using four primer sets, followed by multiplex ASPE using 23 TAG-ASPE primers. The products were sorted on the TAG-ASPE array and detected by using the Luminex xMAP system. Genotypes were also determined by sequencing. Results Genetic drug susceptibility typing by the TAG-ASPE method was 100% concordant with those obtained by sequencing. Compared with phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) as a reference method, the sensitivity and specificity of the TAG-ASPE method were 83% (95% confidence interval [CI], 79-88%) and 97% (95% CI, 90-100%) for isoniazid. For rifampin testing, the sensitivity and specificity were 90% (95% CI, 86-93%) and 100% (95% CI, 99-100%). Also, the sensitivity and specificity were 58% (95% CI, 51-65%) and 86% (95% CI, 79-93%) for ethambutol. Conclusions This study demonstrated the TAG-ASPE method is suitable for highly reproducible, cost-effective, and high-throughput clinical genotyping applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis has challenged tuberculosis control strategies globally. The present study aims to analyze the frequency of mutations in rpoB, katG and inhA genes in strains of M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) circulating in Central India. It is anticipated that the findings may provide a starting point to understand the evolutionary success of drug-resistant strains of MTBC in this region. METHODS Line probe assay was carried out on 720 consecutive sputum samples of MDR suspects from June 2012 to May 2013. Mutation frequencies in the rpoB, katG and inhA genes were analyzed. RESULTS Mutations were identified in 269 (37.6%) samples, as follows: 55 (7.6%) samples had mutations conferring resistance to only isoniazid, 84 (11.6%) had mutations conferring resistance to only rifampicin and 130 (18%) isolates had mutations conferring resistance to both isoniazid and rifampicin. The most frequent mutation in the rpoB gene was at codon S531L, seen in 141 (19.5%) isolates. The most frequent mutation in the katG gene was at codon S315T1, seen in 151 (20.9%) isolates; and in the inhA gene at codon C15T, seen in 21 (2.9%) isolates. Some unidentified mutations were also observed. CONCLUSION The patterns and the frequency of the mutations identified in this study indicate the most frequent mutations at S531L codon in the rpoB gene, S315T1 codon in the katG gene and C15T codon in the promoter region of the inhA gene. Controlling the emergence and spread of MDR TB requires an understanding of the evolution of these mutations.

Abstract
PURPOSE The presence of embB306 mutation in ethambutol (EMB)-susceptible (EMBs) clinical isolates questions the significance of these mutations in conferring resistance to EMB. The present study was carried out to determine the occurrence of embB306 mutation in EMB-resistant (EMBr) and EMBs strains of M. tuberculosis. One hundred and four multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) strains were also included to establish the relevance of excessive use of rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) in occurrence of embB306 mutations in EMBs M. tuberculosis isolates. MATERIALS AND METHODS Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from M. tuberculosis clinical strains was isolated by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method. Phenotypic and genotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) was performed on 354 M. tuberculosis isolates by using standard proportion method and multiplex-allele-specific polymerase chain reaction assay, respectively. RESULTS The overall frequency of embB306 mutations in EMBr isolates was found to be five times higher than its occurrence in EMB-susceptible isolates (50% vs 10%). Further, the association between embB306 mutation and EMB-resistance was observed to be statistically significant (P = 0.000). CONCLUSION The embB306 is not only the main causative mutation of EMB resistance, but is a sensitive applicant marker for EMB-resistance study.

Abstract
Isoniazid (INH) is the cornerstone of tuberculosis (TB) chemotherapy, used for both treatment and prophylaxis of TB. The antimycobacterial activity of INH was discovered in 1952, and almost as soon as its activity was published, the first INH-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains were reported. INH and its structural analog and second-line anti-TB drug ethionamide (ETH) are pro-drugs. INH is activated by the catalase-peroxidase KatG, while ETH is activated by the monooxygenase EthA. The resulting active species reacts with NAD+ to form an INH-NAD or ETH-NAD adduct, which inhibits the enoyl ACP reductase InhA, leading to mycolic acid biosynthesis inhibition and mycobacterial cell death. The major mechanism of INH resistance is mutation in katG, encoding the activator of INH. One specific KatG variant, S315T, is found in 94% of INH-resistant clinical isolates. The second mechanism of INH resistance is a mutation in the promoter region of inhA (c-15t), which results in inhA overexpression and leads to titration of the drug. Mutations in the inhA open reading frame and promoter region are also the major mechanism of resistance to ETH, found more often in ETH-resistant clinical isolates than mutations in the activator of ETH. Other mechanisms of resistance to INH and ETH include expression changes of the drugs' activators, redox alteration, drug inactivation, and efflux pump activation. In this article, we describe each known mechanism of resistance to INH and ETH and its importance in M. tuberculosis clinical isolates.

Abstract
PT70 is a diaryl ether inhibitor of InhA, the enoyl-ACP reductase in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis fatty acid biosynthesis pathway. It has a residence time of 24 min on the target, and also shows antibacterial activity in a mouse model of tuberculosis infection. Due to the interest in studying target tissue pharmacokinetics of PT70, we developed a method to radiolabel PT70 with carbon-11 and have studied its pharmacokinetics in mice and baboons using positron emission tomography.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the diagnostic accuracy of a multiplex real-time PCR (Anyplex II MTB/MDR/XDR, Seegene, Corea) that detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RIF), fluoroquinolones (FLQ) and injectable drugs (kanamycin [KAN], amikacin [AMK] and capreomycin [CAP]) in isolates and specimens. METHODS One hundred fourteen cultured isolates and 73 sputum specimens were retrospectively selected. Results obtained with multiplex PCR were compared with those obtained with BACTEC. Discordant results between multiplex PCR and BACTEC were tested by alternative molecular methods. RESULTS Sensitivity and specificity of multiplex PCR for detecting drug resistance in isolates were 76.5% and 100%, respectively, for INH; 97.2% and 96.0%, respectively, for RIF; 70.4% and 87.9%, respectively, for FLQ; 81.5% and 84.8%, respectively, for KAN; 100% and 60%, respectively, for AMK, and 100% and 72.3%, respectively, for CAP. Sensitivity and specificity of Anyplex for detecting drug resistance in specimens were 93.3% and 100%, respectively, for INH; 100% and 100%, respectively, for RIF; 50.0% and 100%, respectively, for FLQ; and 100% and 94.4%, respectively, for both KAN and CAP. Among the discordant results, 87.7% (71/81) of results obtained with the multiplex PCR were concordant with at least one of the alternative molecular methods. CONCLUSIONS This multiplex PCR may be a useful tool for the rapid identification of drug resistant tuberculosis in isolates and specimens, thus allowing an initial therapeutic approach. Nevertheless, for a correct management of patients, results should be confirmed by a phenotypic method.

Molecular detection and characterization of resistant genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex from DNA isolated from tuberculosis patients in the Eastern Cape province South Africa. BMC Infect Dis 2014; 14:479.

Abstract
Background Tuberculosis (TB) in both animals and humans is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) primarily transmitted by inhalation of aerosolized droplets containing the organism. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) and extensive drug resistance (XDR) are evolutionary features of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to subvert the antibiotic regimes in place. The heavy burden of TB worsened by HIV endemic in South Africa motivated for the investigation of MTBC prevalence among TB patients in Port Elizabeth and the amplification and sequencing of the DNA amplicons known to confer resistance to TB drugs. Methods Three thousand eight hundred and ten (3810) sputum specimens were processed and DNA was isolated from sputum specimens collected from different hospitals and health care places in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. DNA was amplified using the Seeplex® MTB Nested ACE detection assay. The agar-dilution proportion method was used to perform drug-sensitivity testing using 7H10 Middlebrook medium. Target genes known to confer resistance to first and second-line drugs were amplified and the amplicons sequenced. Results One hundred and ninety (5%) DNA samples tested positive for MTBC and from the resistant profiles of the 190 positive samples, we noted that multidrug-resistant TB was identified in 189 (99.5%) with 190 (100%) patients infected with MTB resistant to isoniazid and 189 (99.5%) having MTB resistant to rifampicin. Other percentages of drug resistance observed including 40% pre-XDR and 60% of XDR. Conclusion This study provides valuable data on the different kinds of mutations occurring at various target loci in resistant MTBC strains isolated from samples obtained from the Eastern Cape Province. The results obtained reveal a high incidence of MDR amongst the positive samples from Eastern Cape Province, South Africa.

Cationic amphipathic D-enantiomeric antimicrobial peptides with in vitro and ex vivo activity against drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis (Edinb) 2014; 94:678-89.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of bacterial death worldwide. Due to the emergence of multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), and the persistence of latent infections, a safe and effective TB therapy is highly sought after. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have therapeutic potential against infectious diseases and have the ability to target microbial pathogens within eukaryotic cells. In the present study, we investigated the activity of a family of six AMPs containing all-D amino acids (D-LAK peptides) against MDR and XDR clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) both in vitro and, using THP-1 cells as a macrophage model, cultured ex vivo. All the D-LAK peptides successfully inhibited the growth of Mtb in vitro and were similarly effective against MDR and XDR strains. D-LAK peptides effectively broke down the heavy clumping of mycobacteria in broth culture, consistent with a 'detergent-like effect' that could reduce the hydrophobic interactions between the highly lipidic cell walls of the mycobacteria, preventing bacteria cell aggregation. Furthermore, though not able to eradicate the intracellular mycobacteria, D-LAK peptides substantially inhibited the intracellular growth of drug-resistant Mtb clinical isolates at concentrations that were well tolerated by THP-1 cells. Finally, combining D-LAK peptide with isoniazid could enhance the anti-TB efficacy. D-LAK peptide, particularly D-LAK120-A, was effective as an adjunct agent at non-toxic concentration to potentiate the efficacy of isoniazid against drug-resistant Mtb in vitro, possibly by facilitating the access of isoniazid into the mycobacteria by increasing the surface permeability of the pathogen.

Abstract
The explosive global spreading of multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has provoked an urgent need to discover novel anti-TB agents. Enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase from Mtb is a well-known and thoroughly studied target for anti-tuberculosis therapy. In the present analysis, virtual screening techniques performed from Drug bank database by utilizing INH-NAD adduct as query for the discovery of potent anti-TB agents. About 100 molecules sharing similar scaffold with INH-NAD adduct were analyzed for their binding effectiveness. The initial screening based on number of rotatable bonds gave 42 hit molecules. Subsequently, physiochemical properties such as toxicity, solubility, drug-likeness and drug score were analyzed for the filtered set of compounds. Final data reduction was performed by means of molecular docking and normal mode docking analysis. The result indicates that DB04362, adenosine diphosphate 5-(beta-ethyl)-4-methyl-thiazole-2-carboxylic acid could be a promising lead compound and be effective in treating sensitive as well as drug-resistant strains of Mtb. We believe that this novel scaffolds might be the good starting point for lead compounds and certainly aid the experimental designing of anti-tuberculosis drug in a short time.

Abstract
PURPOSE The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a major public health problem. The diagnosis of MDR-TB is of paramount importance in establishing appropriate clinical management and infection control measures. The aim of this study was to evaluate drug resistance and mutational patterns in clinical isolates MDR-TB by GenoType® MTBDRplus assay. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 350 non-repeated sputum specimens were collected from highly suspected drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) cases; which were processed by microscopy, culture, differentiation and first line drug susceptibility testing (DST) using BacT/ALERT 3D system. RESULTS Among a total of 125 mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains, readable results were obtained from 120 (96%) strains by GenoType® MTBDRplus assay. Only 45 MDR-TB isolates were analysed for the performance, frequency and mutational patterns by GenoType® MTBDRplus assay. The sensitivity of the GenoType® MDRTBplus assay for detecting individual resistance to rifampicin (RIF), isoniazid (INH) and multidrug resistance was found to be 95.8%, 96.3% and 97.7%, respectively. Mutation in codon S531L of the rpoB gene and codon S315T1 of katG genes were dominated in MDR-TB strains, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The GenoType® MTBDRplus assay is highly sensitive with short turnaround times and a rapid test for the detection of the most common mutations conferring resistance in MDR-TB strains that can readily be included in a routine laboratory workflow.

Abstract
When access to molecular oxygen is restricted, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) can respire an alternative electron acceptor, nitrate. We found that Mtb within infected primary human macrophages in vitro at physiologic tissue oxygen tensions respired nitrate, generating copious nitrite. A strain of Mtb lacking a functioning nitrate reductase was more susceptible than wild-type Mtb to treatment with isoniazid during infection of macrophages. Likewise, nitrate reductase-deficient Mtb was more susceptible to isoniazid than wild-type Mtb in axenic culture, and more resistant to hydrogen peroxide. These phenotypes were reversed by the addition of exogenous nitrite. Further investigation suggested that nitrite might inhibit the bacterial catalase. To the extent that Mtb itself is the most relevant source of nitrite acting within Mtb, these findings suggest that inhibitors of Mtb's nitrate transporter or nitrate reductase could enhance the efficacy of isoniazid.

Abstract
The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) and especially multidrug-resistant TB (MDR) continues to increase alarmingly worldwide, and reliable and fast diagnosis of MDR is essential for the adequate treatment of patients. In contrast to the standard culture methods, nucleid acid amplification tests (NAATs) provide information about presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) DNA and a potential resistance pattern within hours. We analyzed specimens of 110 patients from Nigeria comparing culture-based drug susceptibility testing (DST) to NAAT assays detecting isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RMP) (GenoType MTBDRplus), and ethambutol (EMB) (GenoType MTBDRsl) resistance. Compared to DST, the GenoType MTBDRplus and MTBDRsl showed a specificity of 100% (86.3-100) and a sensitivity of 86% (42.1-99.6%) for detection of INH and a specificity of 100% (86.3-100) and a sensitivity of 83% (35.9-99.6%) for detection of RMP, and a sensitivity 100% (47.8-100%) for EMB resistance. However, in two strains, the NAAT assays provided false susceptible results as the mutations causing resistance were in genomic regions not covered by the probes of the GenoType MTBDRplus assay. We show that, in combination to DST, application of the GenoType MTBDRplus and GenoType MTBDRsl assays might be a useful additional tool to allow a rapid and safe diagnosis of MDR and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) MTBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The isoniazid (INH) resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is caused by mutations in the katG and inhA genes encoding for catalase-peroxidase and inhA, respectively. Sequences of the katG and inhA gene of 70 isolates were analyzed to identify the mutations and to compare the mutations with their related susceptibilities. METHODS Sequences of the katG and inhA genes and the resistance profiles were analyzed for the 70 M. tuberculosis isolates, collected from nine hospitals in Taiwan during the period from 1999 to 2011. RESULTS Fifteen alleles were identified in the katG gene and two alleles were identified in the inhA gene. Among the 15 alleles identified in the katG gene, 14 alleles were found in isolates resistant to isoniazid, while only three alleles were found in isolates susceptible to isoniazid. The mutations of the katG gene and their frequencies of 41 INH-resistant isolates were Arg463Leu (51%), Ser315Thr (29%), Ser315Asn (9.8%), and other loci (22%). The sensitivity and specificity of the Ser315Thr mutation for the detection of INH-resistant isolates were 29% and 100%, respectively. The frequency of inhA gene mutation was low (2.44%) in the 41 INH-resistant isolates. CONCLUSION The diverse alleles of the katG gene associated with INH resistance are present in the M. tuberculosis isolates in Taiwan. These data may be applied to develop new probes for various alleles associated with INH resistance in order to increase the sensitivity for the detection of genetically diverse M. tuberculosis isolates in different geographic areas. The diversity of mutations can also provide information for investigating the evolutional lineages of M. tuberculosis isolates.
