Abstract excerpt
Leprosy (causative, Mycobacterium leprae) continues to be the persisting public health problem with stable incidence rates, owing to the emergence of dapsone resistance that being the principal drug in the ongoing multidrug therapy. Hence, to overcome the drug resistance, structural modification through medicinal chemistry was used to design newer dapsone derivative(s) (DDs), against folic acid biosynthesis...
