Antitubercular agent-52 (Compound 7k) is an antitubercular agent targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) . Antitubercular agent-52 selectively inhibits the cytochrome bcc (cyt-bcc) electron transport chain of Mtb and also acts on cytochrome bd (cyt-bd) . Antitubercular agent-52 blocks electron transfer and ATP production by interfering with the key energy metabolism pathway of Mtb. Antitubercular agent-52 is promising for research of tuberculosis[1].
