This document summarizes several new agents for treating drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It discusses imidazopyridine (Q203), which acts on the respiratory chain and has excellent killing properties for chronic TB. Feropenem is an oral beta-lactam antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. Several DPR1E inhibitors including PBTZ169, BTZ043 and TCA1 block cell wall synthesis and have activity against replicating and nonreplicating TB. TCA1 in particular works through two mechanisms and is effective against XDR-TB. The document evaluates the mechanisms, administration, pharmacokinetics and potential of these new anti-TB therapies.
