New inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth based on modified pyrimidine nucleosides and their analogues

Data on the methods of synthesis and antituberculosis activities of pyrimidine nucleoside derivatives and their analogues are summarized. A number of enzymes, promising targets for the prototypes of a new generation of drugs, are considered. The nucleosides able to inhibit drug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis are characterized.
