Morinamide is a second line anti-tuberculous agent. In vitro morinamide demonstrated clear dose-dependent bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities. The anti-mycobacterial effect of morinamide was the same as pyrazinamide and was dependent on the acidity of medium (pH 5.6). Liver function test abnormalities following morinamide therapy are usually mild, and onset of jaundice is extremely uncommon. It has been given orally as the hydrochloride in the treatment of tuberculosis.

In Vitro Use Guide

Monocytes separated from human blood were incubated in plastic plates for seven days to mature into macrophage monolayers. After activation with TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma or without prior treatment, the macrophages were infected with M. tuberculosis. Morinamide exhibited a very clear dose-dependent bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect in experiments with ‘normal’ macrophages at concentrations 64, 128 and 256 ug/ml.
