Resumen
With the objective of obtaining slow-acting isoniazid derivatives, of potential use as chemoprophylactics or chemotherapeutics in tuberculosis, the micelle-forming copolymer of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(aspartic acid) prodrug with isoniazid was synthesized. The derivative obtained was found to be active in Mycobacterium Il(tuberculosis culture, with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) 5.6 times lower than that of the tuberculostatic drug.
