Abstract
Tuberculosis is today amongst the worldwide health threats. As resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have slowly emerged, treatment failure is too often a fact, especially in countries lacking the necessary health care organisation to provide the long and costly treatment adapted to patients. Because of lack of treatment or lack of adapted treatment, at least two million people will die of tuberculosis this year. Due to this concern, this infectious disease was the focus of renewed scientific interest in the last decade. Regimens were optimized and much was learnt on the mechanisms of action of the antituberculosis drugs used. Moreover, the quest for original drugs overcoming some of the problems of current regimens also became the focus of research programmes and many new series of M. tuberculosis growth inhibitors were reported. This review presents the drugs currently used in antituberculosis treatments and the most advanced compounds undergoing clinical trials. We then provide a description of their mechanism of action along with other series of inhibitors known to act on related biochemical targets. This is followed by other inhibitors of M. tuberculosis growth, including recently reported compounds devoid of a reported mechanism of action.

Abstract
A 23-26-carbon chain length range of omega-19 (1'R,2'S) cyclopropane fatty acids, related to mycobacterial mycolic acids, has been prepared. The key cyclopropyl intermediate, (1'R,2'S)-(Z)-1-formyl-2-octadecylcyclopropane, underwent Wittig chemistry with various reagents to provide vinylic precursors, which were selectively reduced to the corresponding saturated omega-19 cyclopropane fatty acids or esters. The 24-carbon omega-19 cyclopropane ester was made by chain elongation of the 23-carbon ester. Saturated and unsaturated chiral cyclopropane acids and esters were assayed, using wall extracts of Mycobacterium smegmatis; the incorporation of 14C-acetate was used to measure inhibition or stimulation of mycolic acid synthesis. Minor inhibition (2-3%) was shown by the 23- and 24-carbon saturated esters; all the other compounds were stimulants. The most effective (38-55%) stimulators of mycolate synthesis were the unsaturated esters with 23- and 26-carbons and the saturated and unsaturated 25-carbon acids.

Abstract
(Z)-tetracos-5-enoic acid and racemic cis-4-(2-octadecylcyclopropane-1-yl)-butanoic acid have been prepared from 1-eicosene by a new facile route. Periodic acid cleavage of the epoxide of 1-eicosene gave nonadecanal which was condensed with 4-carboxybutyltriphenylphosphonium bromide to give predominately (Z)-tetracos-5-enoic acid. Simmons-Smith type cyclopropanation of (Z)-tetracos-5-enoic acid gave a minor proportion of racemic cis-4-(2-octadecylcyclopropane-1-yl)-butanoic acid accompanied by major amounts of its methyl ester.

Abstract
Analogues of the antibiotic thiolactomycin (TLM) have been synthesized and have been shown to have enhanced activity against whole cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and against mycolic acid biosynthesis in cell extracts of Mycobacterium smegmatis. TLM has a methyl-branched butadienyl side chain attached at position 5 on a 'thiolactone' ring, namely 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-5H-thiophen-2-one. Various combinations of strong bases were explored to create a reactive anion at position 5 on the thiolactone ring which could react with halides to produce 5-substituted derivatives; the best reagent was two equivalents of lithium-bis-(trimethylsilyl)amide in tetrahydrofuran. The analogue with a 5-tetrahydrogeranyl substituent showed the best biological activity with an MIC(90) for M. tuberculosis of 29 micro M and 92% mycolate inhibition in extracts of M. smegmatis, as compared to 125 micro M and 54%, respectively, for TLM; other related C(10) and C(15) isoprenoid derivatives had similar biological activity. These isoprenoid-based derivatives did not inhibit type II fatty acid synthase from M. smegmatis, but compounds with iso-butyl and iso-butenyl side chains did show some inhibitory activity against this enzyme. These short-chain derivatives did not inhibit mycolate synthesis or have significant antibiotic activity. Treatment of the thiolactone with a weaker base, sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran, gave 3-alkyl-3,5-dimethyl-thiophene-2,4-dione analogues, which had no effect on fatty acid or mycolate synthesis. However, the geranyl derivative had an MIC(99) of 60 micro M for M. tuberculosis, one quarter that (240 micro M) of TLM, demonstrating its excellent antibiotic potential against an unknown cellular target.

Abstract
Antiseptics and disinfectants are extensively used in hospitals and other health care settings for a variety of topical and hard-surface applications. A wide variety of active chemical agents (biocides) are found in these products, many of which have been used for hundreds of years, including alcohols, phenols, iodine, and chlorine. Most of these active agents demonstrate broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity; however, little is known about the mode of action of these agents in comparison to antibiotics. This review considers what is known about the mode of action and spectrum of activity of antiseptics and disinfectants. The widespread use of these products has prompted some speculation on the development of microbial resistance, in particular whether antibiotic resistance is induced by antiseptics or disinfectants. Known mechanisms of microbial resistance (both intrinsic and acquired) to biocides are reviewed, with emphasis on the clinical implications of these reports.

Abstract
The review discusses current knowledge of the biosynthesis, composition and arrangement of the mycobacterial envelope, describes the biological activities of the constituents and considers how these activities may be relevant to the pathology of mycobacterial disease. The envelope possesses three structural components: plasma membrane, wall and capsule. Although the major biomolecules occurring in each of these parts are known, the distribution of numerous minor substances is poorly understood; an attempt has been made to assign them to particular positions on rational grounds. The plasma membrane appears to be a typical bacterial membrane but, though vital to the mycobacterium, probably plays little part in pathological processes. The wall partly resembles a Gram-positive wall, but is unusual in having a layer of lipid (mycolate esters) which is probably arranged to form a permeability barrier to polar molecules. The capsule, whose chemical composition has only recently been recognized, consists of polysaccharide and protein with traces of lipid; the arrangement of these components is imperfectly understood. Constituents of all parts of the envelope have biological activities which may be relevant. The likely importance of these activities in the overall effect of the envelope is considered.

Abstract
(Z)-Tetracos-5-enoic acid is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of myocobacterial mycolic acids. Recently the methyl ester of its cyclopropene analogue, methyl 4-(2-octadecylcyclopropen-1- yl)butanoate, was shown to act as an inhibitor of mycolic acid biosynthesis. The related analogues methyl 5-(2-octadecylcyclopropen-1-yl)pentanoate and methyl 3-(2-octadecylcyclopropen-1-yl)propanoate have been synthesized, as well as the related cyclopropane esters methyl (Z)-4-(2-octadecylcyclopropan-1-yl)butanoate and methyl (Z)-5-(2-octadecylcyclopropan-1-yl)pentanoate. The synthesis of methyl 3-(2-octadecylcyclopropen-1-yl)propanoate involved protection of the cyclopropene ring by iodination to allow oxidation of an alcohol to a carboxylic acid; the diiodocyclopropane was deprotected by a new mild procedure using activated zinc.
