β-Carbonic Anhydrase as a Target for Eradication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Infectious diseases are among the most danger, and deadly afflictions that human societies suffering from there. One of the common re-emerged infectious diseases is tuberculosis (TB). The causative pathogen for this disease has developed several methods to resist the ordinary therapy, which are usually acting through inhibition of nucleic acids. Therefore, new researches focused on development of tuberculosis treatment, through discovery of novel targets, on which new synthesized drugs will act. One of these targets that can be utilized for eradication of tuberculosis is carbonic anhydrase enzyme.
