Clofazimine (Lamprene®) is a fat-soluble riminophenazine dye used for the treatment of leprosy. It has been used investigationally in combination with other antimycobacterial drugs to treat Mycobacterium avium infections in AIDS patients. Clofazimine (Lamprene®) exerts a slow bactericidal effect on Mycobacterium leprae (Hansen’s bacillus). It inhibits mycobacterial growth and binds preferentially to mycobacterial DNA. It also exerts anti-inflammatory properties in controlling erythema nodosum leprosum reactions. However, its precise mechanisms of action are unknown.

Glucosulfone (Glucosulfone Free Acid, or Promin) is a compound used to treat mycobacterial infections, such as tuberculosis and leprosy. It is converted to dapsone in the body, which also has been shown to have therapeutic effects against dermatitis herpetiformis, actinomycotic mycetoma, asthma, malaria, rheumatoid arthritis, Kaposiís sarcoma, pneumocystis carinii (pneumonia), subcorneal pustular dermatosis and cystic acne. Once converted to dapsone, it has haemotoxic effects (destroying red blood cells, or disrupting blood clotting, potentially causing organ or tissue damage).
Isonicotinamide is the amide form of isonicotinic acid. It is often used as a scaffold for other synthetic compounds. Isonicotinamide has been identified as inducing apoptosis through DNA fragmentation in leukemia cell models and has been studied in mice or the prevention of diabetes. Isonicotinamide activates the NAD-dependent histone deacetylase SIR2 by raising intracellular NAD+ concentration.

Isoniazid glucuronate is a less toxic derivative the antibacterial drug isoniazid. Isoniazid is recommended for all forms of tuberculosis in which organisms are susceptible. Isoniazid itself is a prodrug and must be activated by bacterial catalase. Isoniazid inhibits InhA, the enoyl reductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, by forming a covalent adduct with the NAD cofactor.

Amithiozone, also known as thioacetazone, is an oral antibiotic, which is used in the treatment of tuberculosis. In 1991, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended replacing thioacetazone with ethambutol in patients with known or suspected HIV infection. Thioacetazone is no longer included in WHO’s recommended first-line treatment for tuberculosis and is now reserved for uncommon situations in which treatment options have been compromised by resistance to other anti-tuberculosis medicines in HIV-negative individuals. Despite the increased recognition of this risk, thioacetazone remained in use mainly in low-income countries because of its low cost. Amithiozone has also been used in trials studying the treatment of Mycobacterium Avium-intracellular Infection. One of the possible mechanism action of the drug is interference with the metabolism of methionine of susceptible tubercle bacilli, which utilize methionine for nucleic acid synthesis.

Conditions:

Isonicotinic acid considered to be inactive isomer of nicotinic acid. Isonicotinic acid is a metabolite of pyridine-4-carboxy hydrazide (isonicotinyl hydrazide; isoniazid) a front-line weapon in the battle against tuberculosis. Isonicotinic acid and its derivatives are used in manufacturing pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.

Methaniazide (metaniazide) is the methanesulfonate derivative of isoniazid with antibacterial properties. It is used used primarily as a tuberculostatic. It remains the treatment of choice for tuberculosis.
