Abstract
Tuberculosis is essentially a curable disease but inspite of a WHO approved DOTS therapy, it still continues to ravage mankind. This situation is exacerbated by long course of chemotherapy, increasing drug resistance and co-emergence with HIV. The TB drug pipeline remained stagnant for a long time with no new drug approved till FDA approval for Bedaquiline. This situation has now improved with a number of agents in pre-clinical and clinical development against M. tuberculosis. In this review, we are focusing on some of the newer drugs in discovery and preclinical development against M. tuberculosis.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
