Isoniazid also known as isonicotinylhydrazine (INH), is an [[organic compound]] that is the first-line medication in prevention and treatment of [[tuberculosis]]. The compound was first synthesized in the early 20th century,<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Meyer H, Mally J|title=On hydrazine derivatives of pyridine carbonic acids|journal=Monatshefte Chemie verwandte Teile anderer Wissenschaften|volume=33|pages=393–414|doi = 10.1007/BF01517946|language=German|year=1912}}[http://springerlink.metapress.com/content/p7145p063227623j/fulltext.pdf PDF fulltext]</ref> but its activity against tuberculosis was first reported in the early 1950s, and three pharmaceutical companies attempted unsuccessfully to simultaneously patent the drug<ref>{{Cite journal|journal=Lancet|volume=373|issue=9670|pages=1148–1149|year=2009

The drug was first tested at [[Many Farms, Arizona|Many Farms]], a [[Navajo Nation|Navajo]] community, due to the Navajo reservation's dire tuberculosis problem and the fact that the population was [[Naïveté|naïve]] with respect to [[streptomycin]], the main tuberculosis treatment at the time.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Jones|first=David|title=The Health Care Experiments at Many Farms: The Navajo, Tuberculosis, and the Limits of Modern Medicine, 1952-1962|journal=Bulletin of the History of Medicine|year=2002|volume=76|issue=4|pages=749–790}}</ref> With the introduction of isoniazid, a cure for tuberculosis was first considered reasonable.

==Mechanism of Action==
=====Condition3=====
Isoniazid is a [[prodrug]] and must be activated by a bacterial catalase-peroxidase enzyme that in ''M. tuberculosis'' is called KatG.<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Suarez J, Ranguelova K, Jarzecki AA, ''et al.'' |title=An oxyferrous heme/protein-based radical intermediate is catalytically competent in the catalase reaction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase (KatG) |journal=The Journal of Biological Chemistry |volume=284 |issue=11 |pages=7017–29 |year=2009 |month=March |pmid=19139099 |doi=10.1074/jbc.M808106200 |pmc=2652337}}</ref> KatG couples the isonicotinic acyl with [[NADH]] to form isonicotinic acyl-NADH complex. This complex binds tightly to the [[enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase]] known as InhA, thereby blocking the natural enoyl-AcpM substrate and the action of [[fatty acid synthase]]. This process inhibits the synthesis of [[mycolic acid]], required for the [[mycobacterium|mycobacterial]] cell wall. A range of radicals are produced by KatG activation of isoniazid, including [[nitric oxide]],<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Timmins GS, Master S, Rusnak F, Deretic V |title=Nitric oxide generated from isoniazid activation by KatG: source of nitric oxide and activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis |journal=Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy |volume=48 |issue=8 |pages=3006–9 |year=2004 |month=August |pmid=15273113 |pmc=478481 |doi=10.1128/AAC.48.8.3006-3009.2004}}</ref> which has also been shown to be important in the action of another antimycobacterial prodrug [[PA-824]].<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Singh R, Manjunatha U, Boshoff HI, ''et al.'' |title=PA-824 kills nonreplicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis by intracellular NO release |journal=Science |volume=322 |issue=5906 |pages=1392–5 |year=2008 |month=November |pmid=19039139 |doi=10.1126/science.1164571 |pmc=2723733}}</ref>
* Dosing Information
Isoniazid is [[bactericidal]] to rapidly dividing [[mycobacterium|mycobacteria]], but is [[bacteriostatic]] if the mycobacteria are slow-growing.<ref>{{cite pmid|19686043}}</ref>
