摘要
基于全球肺结核和耐药菌株的负担最近已经出现,对现有的治疗方法未做出回应,寻找新的救治方法来抵抗这种全球瘟疫患有艾滋病毒合并感染已成为当务之急。因此,寻找新药来抵抗致病源-结核杆菌(MTB),是一项长期的工作。该综述讨论了抗痨剂发病机理和抗结核药物研究的最先进水平,明确研究人员在该领域所面临的一些挑战和阐明可行性办法,尤其是在一些低收入国家。

摘要: Based on the global burden of tuberculosis and resistant strains that have recently emerged, not responding to existing therapies, it has become urgent to search for new remedies against this global human plague that has been compounded by HIV co-infection. Thus, the search for new drugs against the disease-causing agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is an ongoing effort. This review discusses the state-of-the-art in anti-tuberculosis pathogenesis and anti-TB drug research, identifying some of the challenges being faced by researchers in the field and sheds light on possible ways forward, particularly in low-income countries.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
