Abstract
As a result of a high-throughput compound screening campaign of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected macrophages, a new preclinical drug candidate for the treatment of tuberculosis has been identified. GSK2556286 inhibits growth within human macrophages (IC50 = 0.07 μM), is active against extracellular bacteria in cholesterol-containing culture media and exhibits no cross-resistance with known antitubercular drugs. In addition, it has shown efficacy in different mouse models of tuberculosis (TB) and has an adequate safety profile in two preclinical species. These features indicate a compound with a novel mode of action, although still not fully defined, that is effective against both multidrug or extensively-resistant (M/XDR) and drug-sensitive (DS) M. tuberculosis with the potential to shorten the duration of treatment in novel combination drug regimens.
