Benzoic Acid Derivatives as Prodrugs for the Treatment of Tuberculosis
Pharmaceuticals, 2022 One interesting approach to fight tuberculosis is the use of prodrugs that often have shown improved biological activities over drugs with poor absorption or difficulty to cross membranes. Previous studies demonstrate that weak acids such as benzoic acid,
