Methaniazide

Methaniazide, brand name Neotizide among others, is an antibiotic which is used in the treatment of tuberculosis.[1][2][3] It is a derivative of methanesulfonic acid and isoniazid, which is also an antituberculosis drug but has comparatively been far more widely known and used.[1] Isoniazid is a prodrug of isonicotinic acid, and acetylisoniazid, a metabolite of isoniazid, is a metabolic intermediate through which most of the isonicotinic acid is formed.[4] Methaniazide features its mesylate group at the same position as that of the acetyl group in acetylisoniazid, and so methaniazide probably acts as a prodrug of isonicotinic acid similarly to isoniazid and acetylisoniazid. Methaniazide is used as the sodium salt.[1]

Neothetazone is an antibiotic combination of methaniazide (neotizide) and thioacetazone which is or was previously used in the treatment of tuberculosis.[5] It has been associated with a case report of gigantomastia.[5][6][7] Similarly, there have been a variety of case reports in the literature of gynecomastia associated with isoniazid treatment.[8]

Drug-induced mammary hyperplasias have been reported as rare complications of D-penicillamine and Neothetazone. [...] It is rare for breast hypertrophy to be induced by drugs. In particular, gigantomastia has been reported to be induced by only two drugs: D-penicillamine and the antibiotic neothetazone. [...] In 1970, drug-induced gigantomastia was reported for the first time by Scott.4 It was induced by the antibiotic Neothetazone.
