Abstract:

Tuberculosis continues to be one of the most serious infectious diseases threatening human health. At the moment, clinical use of anti-tuberculosis drugs has a poor therapeutic effect, has a high cost, has side effects, and has other flaws. As a result, there is an urgent need to develop new antitubercular drugs with new mechanism of action that are safer, more widely effective, and less toxic. Some progress has been made in the study of DprE1 inhibitors′ anti-tuberculosis effect in recent years. DprE1 inhibitors target the cell wall of mycobacterium tuberculosis and inhibit its growth by inhibiting the DprE1 enzyme that produces the mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall.This paper reviewed DprE1 inhibitors interms of classification, mechanism of action, antimicrobial activity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, as well as drug safety, animal experiments, and clinical trials.

Key words: DprE1 inhibitors, Antitubercular agents, Pharmacological action
