Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB) drug resistance poses a major global health challenge. The first-line antitubercular prodrug isoniazid (INH) is metabolized by N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) and activated by catalase peroxidase (KatG) to inhibit enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) in the mycolic acid biosynthesis pathway. Genetic variations in NAT2 are associated with the formation of slow and fast acetylators,...
