About Cycloserines.

The term "cycloserines" refers to cycloserine and closely related structural analogues rather than an officially designated, multi-agent pharmacological drug class, as cycloserine is the sole clinically established therapeutic entity.

Belonging functionally to the antimycobacterial or second-line antituberculosis agents, it is a cyclic structural analogue of D-alanine that inhibits bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan synthesis by competitively blocking enzymes such as D-alanine racemase and D-alanyl-alanine synthetase.

Clinically, it is utilized as part of multidrug regimens primarily for treating active pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis—especially drug-resistant forms such as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)—and secondarily for select susceptible bacterial urinary tract infections when conventional therapies are ineffective or contraindicated.
