Abstract
ABSTRACT 5-Chloropyrazinamide and 5-chloropyrazinoic acid were evaluated for in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis,Mycobacterium bovis, and several nontuberculous mycobacteria by a broth dilution method. 5-Chloropyrazinamide was more active than pyrazinamide against all organisms tested. It is likely that this agent has a different mechanism of action than pyrazinamide.
5-Chloropyrazinamide shows greater in vitro antimycobacterial activity than pyrazinamide, suggesting a different mechanism of action.
