Isoniazid

Synonyms: Nydrazid

Isoniazid is an antibiotic that is used to kill the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB). Its exact mechanism of action is unknown but it is thought to prevent the bacteria from making components called mycolic acids which are needed to form cell walls. It combines with an enzyme which interferes with the cell metabolism of the bacteria. As a result of the disruption of its metabolism and without a cell wall the bacteria die.
