Tuberculosis remains a health problem that threatens our country and the world. Bacterial resistance is becoming more and more serious due to bacterial mutations, irrational treatment options, and drug abuse, and drug-resistant tuberculosis has threatened the health and safety of all human beings. In the past decade,many new anti-tuberculosis drugs targeting various new targets of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have been gradually started clinical trials. This review analyzes the new targets for cell wall synthesis, protein synthesis and energy metabolism in the study of anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis and briefly introduce some related new compounds,in order to provide reference for the development of anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Key words: Antitubercular agents, New targets, Novel compounds, Research progress
