Campos, Debora L.; Machado, Ignacio; Ribeiro, Camila M.; Gambino, Dinorah; Pavan, Fernando R. published the artcile< Bactericidal effect of pyridine-2-thiol 1-oxide sodium salt and its complex with iron against resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis>, Category: pyridine-derivatives, the main research area is Mycobacterium antibacterial pyridine thiol oxide sodium salt.
We determined the activity of pyridine-2-thiol 1-oxide sodium salt (Na mpo) and its complex with iron [Fe(mpo)3] against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compounds were tested against a standard strain of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC 27294), with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC90) of 7.20 and 1.07 μM to Na mpo and [Fe(mpo)3], resp., and against 3 clin. isolates with different genotypic profiles, with MIC values ranging 0.74-6.52 and 0.30-2.25 μM to Na mpo and [Fe(mpo)3], resp. [Fe(mpo)3] was more effective against susceptible strains but both compounds were effective in inhibiting MDR and XDR-TB clin. strains. The profile activity was determined through the methodol. of a time-kill curve against standard and clin. strains of M. tuberculosis. Time-kill studies indicated that Na mpo had an early bactericidal activity against H37Rv and clin. isolates, with sterilizing effects observed in 5 and 7 days, resp., at its MIC90. The anti MDR and XDR-M. tuberculosis activity and bactericidal effect of Na mpo and [Fe(mpo)3] demonstrate their potential as new compounds for the treatment of tuberculosis.
