3. INTRODUCTION
Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease characterized by the
growth of nodules (tubercles) in the tissues, especially the lungs.
Tuberculosis, or TB caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is
transmitted from person to person via droplets from the throat and
lungs of people with the active respiratory disease.
The symptoms of active TB of the lung are coughing, sometimes
with sputum or blood, chest pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and
night sweats.
Tuberculosis is treatable with a six-month course of antibiotics.

4. Global situation and trends:
Tuberculosis (TB) is contagious and airborne. It ranks alongside HIV
as a leading cause of death worldwide. 9.6 million people are
estimated to have fallen ill with TB in 2014: (5.4 million men, 3.2
million women and 1.0 million children). An estimated 1.2 million
people living with HIV developed TB in 2014. There have been major
advances in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of TB: mortality has
fallen 47% since 1990. Effective diagnosis and treatment of TB saved
an estimated 43 million lives between 2000 and 2014. TB remains one
of the world’s biggest threats. In 2014, TB killed some 1.5 million
people (1.1 million HIV-negative and 0.4 million HIV-positive).

5. Most common TB drugs
o Isoniazid
o Rifampin
o Ethambutol
o Pyrazinamide
For drug-resistant TB, a combination of antibiotics called
fluoroquinolones and injectable medications, such as amikacin,
kanamycin or capreomycin, are generally used.

6. BIOANALYSIS
Bioanalytical methods are used for the quantitative analysis of drugs
and their metabolites in the biological media like saliva, urine,
plasma, serum.
Development and validation of bioanalytical method is important to
understand the pharmacokinetics of any drug and/or its metabolites.
Bioanalytical method development consists of three essential inter
related parts sample preparation, chromatographic separation and
detection by using proper analytical method.
Validation of a Bioanalytical method is the process by which it is
established that the performance characteristics of the method meet
the requirements for the intended Bioanalytical application.

7. BIOANALYTICAL METHOD VALIDATION
Bioanalytical method validation is the approach employed to indicate
that the analytical method used to assess an analyte in biological matrix
is reliable and also reproducible.

Precision
Specificity

14. DRUG PROFILE
ETHAMBUTOL
Molecular Structure :
Molecular Formula : C10H24N2O2
Molecular Weight : 204.31 g·mol−1
Solubility : Soluble in water, DMSO; sparingly soluble in
ethanol; difficult to dissolve in acetone and
chloroform
Pka : 6.6 & 9.5
Dosage : Available as 100 and 400 mg tablets. 15 mg/kg
daily or up to 25 mg/kg but risk of ocular toxicity.
Weekly dose, 30 mg/kg three times/week.
Plasma Half Life(t½) : 3–4 hours
Protein Binding : 20 – 30%
Mechanism of Action : Ethambutol inhibits arabinosyl transferases which
is involved in cell wall biosynthesis. By inhibiting this enzyme, the bacterial cell
wall complex production inhibited. This leads to an increase in cell wall
permeability.
14
15. ISONIAZID
Molecular Structure :
Molecular Formula : C6H7N3O
Molecular Weight : 137.13928 g/mol
Solubility : Solubility in water, ethanol, Chloroform, Practically insoluble
in ether, benzene
Pka : 1.82(at 200C)
Dosage : Adult dosing generally 300 mg capsule administered orally,
once daily; or 15 mg/kg up to 900 mg/day, two or three
times/week, ideally dose administered one hour before or two
hours after a meal.
Plasma Half Life(t½) : Fast acetylators: 0.5 to 1.6 hr. Slow acetylators: 2 to 5 hr.
Protein Binding : 0 – 10%
Mechanism of Action : Isoniazid is a prodrug and must be activated by bacterial
catalase. Specficially, activation is associated with reduction of the mycobacterial ferric
KatG catalase peroxidase to form an oxyferrous enzyme complex. Once activated, isoniazid
inhibits the synthesis of mycoloic acids, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall.
actively growing intracellular and extracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis organisms.
Specifically isoniazid inhibits InhA, the enoyl reductase from the NAD cofactor. It is the
INHNAD. adduct that acts as a slow, tight binding competitive inhibitor of InhA.
15
16. PYRAZINAMIDE
Molecular Structure :
Molecular Formula : C5H5N3O
Molecular Weight : 123.11 g/mol
Solubility : Soluble in chloroform, methylene chloride; less soluble in
benzene; sparingly soluble in water
Pka : -0.5
Dosage : Dose 20- 25 mg/kg daily, or 50-70 mg/kg three times in a
week.
Plasma Half Life(t½) : 9-10 hrs
Protein Binding : ~10%
Mechanism of Action : Pyrazinamide diffuses into M. tuberculosis, where the
enzyme pyrazinamidase converts pyrazinamide to the active form pyrazinoic acid. Under
acidic conditions, the pyrazinoic acid that slowly leaks out converts to the protonated
conjugate acid, which is thought to diffuse easily back into the bacilli and accumulate.
The net effect is that more pyrazinoic acid accumulates inside the bacillus at acid pH
than at neutral pH. Pyrazinoic acid was thought to inhibit the enzyme fatty acid synthase
(FAS) I, which is required by the bacterium to synthesise fatty acids.
16
17. RIFAMPICIN
• Molecular Structure :
• Molecular Formula : C43H58N4O12
• Molecular Weight : 822.94 g/mol
• Solubility : Freely soluble in chloroform and DMSO; soluble in
ethyl acetate, methanol, tetrahydrofuran; slightly
soluble in acetone, water, carbon tetrachloride
• Pka : 1.7

to exceed 600 mg/day, oral or i.v.
• Plasma Half Life(t½) : 3.35 (±0.66) hours
• Protein Binding : 89%
• Mechanism of Action : Rifampin inhibits the DNA dependent RNA
polymerase, leading to a suppression of RNA synthesis and cell death.

18. RESEARCH ENVISAGED
Bioanalytical method employed for the quantitative
determination of drugs and their metabolites in
biological fluids plays a significant role in the evaluation
and interpretation of bioavailability, bioequivalence,
pharmacokinetic, and toxicokinetic study data.
Monitoring the concentration of the drug in the blood
and plasma ascertains that the calculated dose actually
delivers the plasma level required for the therapeutic
effect.
18
19. To develop selective and sensitive analytical method for
the quantitative evaluation of drug and their metabolism
are critical for the successful conduct of
biopharmaceutics and clinical pharmacology studies.
The manuscript could be used as a guide in some
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, Bioavailability and
Bioequivalence studies of drug candidates.
Literature survey reveals that as such no UV and HPLC
method has yet been reported for simultaneous
estimation of Isoniazid, Rifampin, Ethambutol and
Pyrazinamide.
