Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world’s leading infectious diseases. Every year on March 24th, World Tuberculosis Day is observed, which in 1882 is when Robert Koch announced the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) as the causative agent of TB. This Special Issue features 30 original research articles, perspectives, and reviews from researchers representing 11 countries across all six major continents. ACS Infectious Diseases hopes this special issue encourages our readers to explore the wide range of research showcasing advances in drug discovery and a greater understanding of TB biology.

This study reports on the antiparasitic profiles of batzelladines F and L, which exhibited strong antiplasmodial activity, moderate cytotoxicity, and good selectivity indexes. Both compounds act quickly against resistant and clinical isolates of P. falciparum, with batzelladine F also showing in vivo activity in a P. berghei model. These findings support the development of guanidine alkaloid derivatives as promising candidates for malaria treatment. View the article.

In recognition of World Tuberculosis Day, held each year on March 24, we present a collection of interviews and research highlights from experts in the field who have published their work in ACS Infec...
