The present disclosure is generally directed to compositions useful in the inhibition of MetRS and methods for treating diseases that are ameliorated by the inhibition of MetRS.

Pyrazinamide (PZA) conjugates and hybrids are provided herein. The PZA conjugates are useful for treating bacterial infections. In one embodiment, the PZA conjugates are useful for treating tuberculosis.

Pyrazinamide (PZA) conjugates and hybrids are provided herein. The PZA conjugates are useful for treating bacterial infections. In one embodiment, the PZA conjugates are useful for treating tuberculosis.

Recombinant antibody-based molecules that trigger both T-cell and B-cell immune responses are disclosed. The recombinant molecules are comprised by at least one targeting unit and at least one antigenic unit connected through a dimerization motif. Also disclosed are nucleic acid molecules encoding the recombinant antibody-based molecule and methods of treating multiple myeloma or lymphoma in a patient using the recombinant antibody-based molecules or the nucleic acid molecules.

The present invention is a method of treating or preventing Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in a subject by administering to the subject an effective amount of oxazolidinone, specifically(N-(((S)-3-(dibenzo[b,e][1,4]dioxin-7-yl)-2-oxooxazolidin-5-yl)methyl)acetamide) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or stereoisomer thereof.

A pharmaceutical composition or a health functional food including a macrolide compound, a method of preparing the same, and a method using the same may be used to prevent or treat Mycobacterium sp. bacterial infection, such as tuberculosis, Hansen's disease, and non-tuberculous Mycobacterium sp. bacterial infections, or symptoms related thereto.

A pharmaceutical composition or a health functional food including a macrolide compound, a method of preparing the same, and a method using the same may be used to prevent or treat Mycobacterium sp. bacterial infection, such as tuberculosis, Hansen's disease, and non-tuberculous Mycobacterium sp. bacterial infections, or symptoms related thereto.

The present disclosure relates to certain (2S)-N-[(1S)-1-cyano-2-phenylethyl]-1,4-oxazepane-2-carboxamide compounds (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof),
