Farmaco. 1998 Aug-Sep;53(8-9):570-3. doi: 10.1016/s0014-827x(98)00067-6.

Abstract

Tuberculosis, an ancient disease undergoing recent control by public hygiene and drug therapy, has experienced a recrudescence throughout the world. New and effective therapies are rapidly needed to combat infections caused by these strains. Some new 2-quinoxalinecarbonitriles have been synthesized and tested as antituberculosis agents and interesting results have been obtained from the first screening.
