Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis and is a leading pathogenic cause of death worldwide. The rise of mycobacterial resistance to common antituberculars such as isoniazid and rifampicin, along with the lethal alliance of HIV and M. tuberculosis co-infection, has led to interest in developing novel, effective, non-toxic antituberculosis agents.
