Mechanism of action

Rifampin inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase, isoniazid disrupts mycolic acid synthesis in the cell wall, pyrazinamide is converted to pyrazinoic acid which disrupts membrane potential and energy metabolism, and ethambutol inhibits arabinosyl transferases involved in cell wall synthesis. Together, these agents provide synergistic bactericidal and bacteriostatic activity against tuberculosis.
