Hepatoprotective Bile Acid Co-Drug of Isoniazid: Synthesis, Kinetics and Investigation of Antimycobacterial Potential

  • Published:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

The long-course treatment of tuberculosis with isoniazid (INH) leads to hazardous side effects on liver and poor patient compliance. To overcome these toxic effects caused by INH, a unique hepatoprotective co-drug platform was developed by tethering INH with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) – an antioxidant bile acid for possible synergistic outcome. INH and UDCA were linked into co-drug (UI ) through a bioreversible amide linkage by EDCI coupling. UI resisted hydrolysis in acidic (pH 1.2) and basic (pH 7.4) buffers and stomach homogenate of rat, whereas exhibited significant hydrolysis (83.38%) in intestinal homogenate over a period of 6 h. The effect of UI in attenuating oxidative stress and reinstating the normal physiology of liver was striking as it restored the levels of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase enzymes to normal. Result obtained for antimycobacterial activity assessment clearly demonstrated that UI was as potent as INH in lowering the mycobacterial load in mice. The outcomes of this exploration confirm that the proposed prodrug can add safety as well as efficiency to future medical procedures of tuberculosis management.
