Thionicotinamide is a drug that belongs to the group of ethionamide. It is a synthetic compound with synergistic activity against tuberculosis bacteria. Thionicotinamide inhibits bacterial growth by binding to mycolic acid, which is a component of the cell wall. Thionicotinamide also has conformational properties, which inhibit the enzyme activities. This drug also interacts with other drugs, such as ethionamide, and may have an effect on the metabolism of these drugs in humans. Thionicotinamide binds to lipids and reduces the activity of enzymes that are involved in lipid synthesis. The nitrogen atoms of thionicotinamide bind to four oxygen atoms from two molecules of glycol ethers in a 1:1 ratio. This binding leads to the formation of hydrogen bonds between these molecules, resulting in an increase in kinetic energy for these reactions and improved structural analysis for this molecule.
