D. Pharmacological Examples
MIC90 Determination for Testing Compounds Against M. tuberculosis
(62) Flat-bottom, sterile 96-well plastic microtiter plates were filled with 100 μl of Middlebrook (1×) 7H9 broth medium. Subsequently, an extra 100 μl medium was added to column 2. Stock solutions (200×final test concentration) of compounds were added in 2 μl volumes to a series of duplicate wells in column 2 so as to allow evaluation of their effects on bacterial growth. Serial 2-fold dilutions were made directly in the microtiter plates from column 2 to 11 using a multipipette. Pipette tips were changed after every 3 dilutions to minimize pipetting errors with high hydrophobic compounds. Untreated control samples with (column 1) and without (column 12) inoculum were included in each microtiter plate. Approximately 10000 CFU per well of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain H37RV), in a volume of 100 μl in Middlebrook (1×) 7H9 broth medium, was added to the rows A to H, except column 12. The same volume of broth medium without inoculum was added to column 12 in row A to H. The cultures were incubated at 37° C. for 7 days in a humidified atmosphere (incubator with open air valve and continuous ventilation). On day 7 the bacterial growth was checked visually.
(63) The 90% minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC.sub.90) was determined as the concentration with no visual bacterial growth.
(64) Time Kill Assays
(65) Bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity of the compounds can be determined in a time kill assay using the broth dilution method. In a time kill assay on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain H37RV), the starting inoculum of M. tuberculosis is 10.sup.6 CFU/ml in Middlebrook (1×) 7H9 broth. The antibacterial compounds are used at the concentration of 0.1 to 10 times the MIC.sub.90. Tubes receiving no antibacterial agent constitute the culture growth control. The tubes containing the microorganism and the test compounds are incubated at 37° C. After 0, 1, 4, 7, 14 and 21 days of incubation samples are removed for determination of viable counts by serial dilution (10.sup.−1 to 10.sup.−6) in Middlebrook 7H9 medium and plating (100 μl) on Middlebrook 7H11 agar. The plates are incubated at 37° C. for 21 days and the number of colonies are determined. Killing curves can be constructed by plotting the log.sub.10 CFU per ml versus time. A bactericidal effect is commonly defined as 3-log.sub.10 decrease in number of CFU per ml as compared to untreated inoculum. The potential carryover effect of the drugs is removed by serial dilutions and counting the colonies at highest dilution used for plating.
