Abstract: One of the most common infectious diseases in the world is tuberculosis (TB), which is spread via the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Many people throughout the world have stopped using anti-TB medications because of concerns related to multidrug resistance and their effects on the liver. To treat M. tuberculosis and combat antimycobacterial resistance, it is vital to find new medications with distinctive structures and rare modes of action. Many scientists have discussed the usefulness of plants in the treatment of tuberculosis caused by phytochemical exposure. A large number of chemical structures are present in naturally occurring compounds, which exhibit a wide range of in vitro efficacy against M. tuberculosis. To investigate possible adjuvants for tuberculosis chemotherapy, the current study has provided a mini-review on phytochemicals evaluated for their antimycobacterial properties during the last few decades.
