Antimycobacterial agent-1 (compound 33) demonstrates potent antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 1 μg ml. Notably, antimycobacterial agent-1 exhibits low cytotoxicity in normal cells, as evidenced by an IC50 value of 143.2 μg ml in Vero cells [1].
Ferulenol, a sesquiterpene prenylated coumarin derivative, exhibits potent antimycobacterial activity and haemorrhagic action. This compound selectively targets succinate ubiquinone reductase within the ubiquinone cycle as its specific mode of inhibition.
