Ethambutol

An antituberculosis drug discovered in 1961 that hinders the building of the mycobacterial cell wall by blocking the enzyme arabinosyl transferase; it is used with isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide and is on the WHO List of Essential Medicines. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and nitrosamines.

Did you know?It is a classic example of an 'old' drug introduced as a single enantiomer from the start: the (S,S) form is 500 times more potent than its (R,R) mirror image and 12 times more than the meso form.
