INTRODUCTION

The infectious killer disease, tuberculosis (TB), is theleading cause of death worldwide from a single humanpathogen, claiming more adult lives than diseases such asacquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), malaria,diarrhoea, leprosy and all other tropical diseasescombined (Zumla and Grange, 1998). The organismusually responsible is the tubercle bacillus,Mycobacter-ium tuberculosis(MT), discovered by Robert Koch in1882. However,M. bovis, which infects cattle mayalso infect man andM. africanum is a cause of TB inWest Africa. Furthermore, a number of normally non-pathogenic mycobacteria, especiallyM. avium, M.intracellulare andM. scrofulaceum, cause opportunisticinfectious disease in patients with AIDS (Horne, 1996).Pulmonary TB, the most common type of the disease, isusually acquired by inhalation of the bacillus from aninfectious patient and causes irreversible lung destruc-tion.

About one third of the world’s population iscurrently infected withM. tuberculosis;10% of thoseinfected will develop clinical disease, particularlythose who also have the human immunodeficiency

virus (HIV) infection (Zumla and Grange, 1998). Withthe discovery of effective antimycobacterial agents(including ethambutol, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, rifam-picin and streptomycin) and a reduction in poverty,there was a drastic decline in the number of TB cases,especially in developed nations. However, since thelate 1980s, the number of cases of TB throughout theworld has been increasing rapidly due partly to theemergence of multidrug resistantM. tuberculosis.According to the World Health Organization (WHO,1993), it was expected that the annual death rate causedby TB will reach an overwhelming 3.5 million by theyear 2000.

Thus the TB problem requires urgent attention. Shortcourse anti-TB regimens initially using at least three first-line drugs (including isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazina-mide) are effective. The major problems faced intuberculosis control are poor infrastructures for diagnosisand drug supply and failure of patients to complete theircourse of drugs.

the treatmentof disease.It is estimatedthat eventodayapproximatelytwo-thirdsto three-quartersof theworld’spopulation rely on medicinal plants as their primarysourceof medicines(McChesney,1995).Today,manyofthe drugs currently used are derived from naturalproductsor have dependedupon a natural product fortheir developmentand the recent discoveriesof theantimalarialartemisininand the anticanceragenttaxolindicate the continuing importanceof plant speciesindrug discovery.However, only a small proportion ofplantspecieshavebeenthoroughlyinvestigatedfor theirmedicinalproperties(Frameet al., 1998) and undoubt-edly therearemanynovelbiologicallyactivecompoundsto be discovered.During the pasttwo decades,pharma-ceuticalcompaniesandresearchscientistshaveshownanincreasedinterest in phytomedicine. Currently largenumbersof speciesare being screenedfor pharmaco-logical activitiesespeciallythoseusedin traditional/folkmedicine.Althoughplantspecieshavenot sofar yieldedantibacterialcompoundsof comparablepotencyto theantibiotics produced by microorganisms,many plantextractshavebeentestedfor activity againstmicroorgan-ismsin theanticipationthathighly activecompoundswillbefound.With theurgentneedfor newanti-TBagents,itis particularly appropriateat this time to review theliterature for information on plant specieswhich havebeenassessedfor antimycobacterial activity. Thepresentreview attempts to identify those species,which areworthy of further investigation as leads for drugdevelopmentand to stimulate further work in thisimportantarea.

IN VITRO TESTS FOR ANTIMYCOBA CTERIALACTIVITY

Screeningplantextractsfor antimycobacterial activity isusually carried out using mycobacteria cultured invarious types of broth and agar based media. M.tuberculosishasthedisadvantagesof beingslowgrowingso that teststake severalweeksandcontainmentfacili-ties are neededas it is a dangerouspathogen.Manyinvestigators have therefore used non-pathogenicspeciesof mycobacteriasuchasM. avium,M. intracel-lulare and M. kansaii, which like M. tuberculosisareslow growing, andotherspeciesincluding M. chelonei,M. fortuitumandM. smegmatiswhich arefastergrowingallowing tests to be completedin a few days. Mostcommonly, the test methods employed are the discdiffusion and the broth dilution methods.In the discdiffusion method, paper discs impregnatedwith theextract under test are placed on a semi-solid (agarbased)mediumwhich hasbeeninoculatedwith myco-bacteria.After incubation,zonesof inhibition of bacterialgrowth around the discs are measured.The maindisadvantageswith this method are that non-polarcompoundsmay not diffuse into the agarso that activecompoundsmay be missedandthat it is not possibletoobtain reliable quantitative results for comparativepurposes.In the broth dilution method, the minimumconcentrationrequiredto inhibit bacterialgrowth (mini-muminhibitory concentration,MIC) is determinedusinga seriesof tubescontainingserialdilutionsof theextractin inoculatedbroth;howeversolubilizationof theextracts

under test may be a problem (Satim and Washington,1991).

For high-throughputscreening,rapid methodswhichcanbe automatedareneeded;thesehavebeenreviewedby Gordon et al. (1996). The first rapid methodsdevelopedinvolved measuringthe evolution of 14CO2from M. tuberculosiscultured in medium containing14C-palmiticacidandformedthebasisfor theBACTECsystem(Becton-Dickinson,Oxford, UK). This is usedfor the susceptibilitytestingof clinical isolatesandcanprovide resultsin an averageof 5 dayscomparedwith3–4 weeks for conventional methods. However, theBACTEC system is not suitable for high-throughputscreeningdue to the technical difficulties involved inmeasuring14CO2. Chung et al. (1995) developedanassaybasedon measuringthe uptake of radiolabelleduracil into M. aurum, a fastgrowingandnon-pathogenicspecieswhich appearsto be a good model for M.tuberculosisas it hasa similar profile of sensitivity toanti-TB drugs.The latter methodmay be usedfor high-throughputscreeningand doesnot requirecontainmentfacilities but the separationof incorporatedfrom unin-corporateduracil is labour intensive. The major dis-advantageof the above is the need for radiolabelledsubstratesbut this hasbeenovercomewith the develop-ment of assaysin which mycobacterial viability isdeterminedusing either bacterial or firefly luciferase.The bacterialenzymeusesreducedflavin (producedbyviable mycobacteria) to oxidize an added aldehydesubstrate (decanal) which is accompanied by theproduction of light at 490nm. Firefly luciferase isdependentuponATP generatedby the mycobacteriatodecarboxylateluciferin, resulting in the production oflight at 562nm. Light production may be measuredeasilyusinga luminometerin high-throughputsystems.Severalspeciesof mycobacteria,including M. tubercu-losis, have beengenetically modified by inserting thegenesfor the production of bacterial luciferase; onlyviablebacilli emit light whendecanalis addedandthereis no requirementfor growthsothatsusceptibilitytestingmaybecarriedout rapidly.Similarly, thegenefor fireflyluciferase has been incorporated into a number ofmycobacteriaspeciesincluding M. aurum (Chung etal., 1995).

Colorimetric methodsare very suitable for use inmicrotitre platesand the resultsmay be easilyobtainedusing a spectrophotometer.Gomez-Floreset al. (1995)reported an assay for testing against the M. aviumcomplexwhich dependson theability of viable bacteriato reducedimethylthiazoldiphenyltetrazolium(MTT) toformazan.Anothersimilar methodutilizestheredoxdyeAlamar blue which changescolour from blue to pink inthe presenceof viable M. tuberculosis(Yajko et al.,1995).Theseassayshavetheadvantagesof beingsimpleand do not require radioactive substratesbut requireseveraldaysfor growthof the bacteriaso that they maynotbeasrapidasthebioluminescencemethodsdescribedabove.

While simple antimycobacterial testsare convenientfor screeningcrude plant extracts and isolated com-pounds,it mustnot be forgottenthat M. tuberculosisisprimarily an intracellularpathogenresidingin theacidicvacuolesof macrophagecells. This environmentmayaffect the actionof anti-TB drugssuchasstreptomycin(activity reduced)andpyrazinamide(activity increased)and it may be valuableto evaluatethe ability of plant

compoundsto inhibit M. tuberculosiswithin culturedhumanmacrophages.This may be carriedout usingthemethodologyof CrowleandMay (1990).

PLANT SPECIESINVESTIGATED FORANTIMYCOBACTERIA L ACTIVITY

Thecrudeextractsof manyplantspecies,especiallythosewith ethnomedicaluseshavebeenassessedfor in vitroantimycobacterialpropertiesbut relatively few activecompoundshavebeenisolated.In manycases,work willhave beendiscontinuedbecausethe extractsexhibitedlittle or no activity at the highestconcentrationstested.For the purposeof this review,we haveselectedmostlythosespecieswhich havebeentestedfor activity againstone or more speciesof mycobacteriaand which havebeenfurther investigatedto determinethe natureof theconstituentslikely to beresponsiblefor theactivity. Thisinformation,summarizedin Table1, hasbeencompiledmainly from the literatureof the last20–30years.

An extensiveliteraturesearchwascarriedoutusingtheScienceCitation Index of BIDS (Bath InformationDataServices), 1981to dateandPubMed(Medline),1966to date.

The keywordsused(in variouscombinations)in thesearchwere: Plants;Natural; Remedies;Chinesemedi-cine;Traditional;Herbal;Indianmedicine;Tuberculosis;Mycobacteria; Antimycobacterial; Antituberculosis;Tuberclebacilli.

Furthermore,detailedsearchesthroughjournalssuchas Reviews of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants, forpapersand articles which are not included in the twodatabases(BIDS and Medline), were also included.Note that in some of the studiescited such as thosereported by Cantrell et al., 1998a; Fitzpatrick, 1954;Grange and Davey, 1990; Lucas et al., 1951, largenumbersof plant specieswere tested but only thosethat appear to have the most potent activities areincluded. In addition, a recentarticle (preparedat thesametime as this presentreview article) by Lall andMeyer (1999) has also reportedsignificant antimyco-bacterial activity of someplants which are not incor-porated into Table 1. An attempt has been made tosummarizeall the relevantinformationavailableso thatspeciescan be assessedfor their potential as leadstoanti-TB agents.In studieswherestandardanti-TB drugshavebeenusedaspositivecontrols,this is indicatedinthe remarkscolumn of the table as the resultsmay be

more reliable than those from studieswhere controlswerenot included.

PLANT SPECIESAS A SOURCE OF NEWANTIMYCOBACTERIAL AGENTS

Comparedwith microorganisms,plantspecieshavesofarproveddisappointingasa sourceof potentantibacterialagents.However, as is well illustrated in Table 1, anumberof plant extractsandcompoundsdo havepotentantimycobacterialproperties.Examplesof the specieswhichappearto beamongthemostactiveincludeAlliumsativum,Borrichia frutescens,Ferula communis,Her-acleum maximum, Karwinskia humboldtiana, Leucasvolkensii,Monesesuniflora, Oplopanaxhorridus,SalviamulticaulisandStrobilanthuscusia.

In somecases,compoundshavebeenisolatedwhichhaveantimycobacterialactivitiescomparableto standardanti-TB drugs, for example (E)- and (Z)-phytol andphytanol which were isolated from Leucas volkensii(Rajabetal., 1998).It is hopedthatnaturalproductssuchas the latter may prove to be useful agentsfor TBtreatmentor may be lead compoundsfrom which newdrugsmaybedeveloped.Bromhexineis asemi-syntheticderivative of the alkaloid vasicine,which is found inAdhatodavasica, anIndianshrubthathaslongbeenusedin India for the treatmentof TB. Although bromhexineand its metaboliteambroxolhavebeenwidely usedasmucolytics, these compoundsexert a pH dependentinhibitory effectagainstM. tuberculosisin vitro andtheyarealsoconcentratedin macrophages.It is suggestedthattheymaybeusefulasadjuctsin TB therapy(GrangeandSnell,1996).

CONCLUSION

The data compiled in Table 1 reveal that extractsofplant speciesfrom a wide rangeof families havebeenshown to have significant in vitro antimycobacterialactivities and that a number of active plant-derivedcompoundsbelongingto variouschemicalclasseshavebeenisolated.Thesefindingsshouldstimulatethesearchfor novel natural product leads towards new anti-TBagents.
