Abstract:Tuberculosis
(TB) is a global health threat that causes significant
mortality. This review explores chemotherapeutics that target essential
processes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, such as
DNA replication, protein synthesis, cell wall formation, energy metabolism,
and proteolysis. We emphasize the need for new drugs to treat drug-resistant
strains and shorten the treatment duration. Emerging targets and promising
inhibitors were identified by examining the intricate biology of TB.
