About Diarylquinoline Anti-Mycobacterial Antibiotics.

Diarylquinoline anti-mycobacterial antibiotics are a targeted class of antibacterial agents characterized by a central quinoline core substituted with aryl moieties.

They exert their therapeutic bactericidal effect by selectively binding to subunit c of mycobacterial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase, shutting down cellular energy production in dormant and replicating bacilli.

Clinically represented by bedaquiline, this class is primarily utilized as part of combination therapy to treat pulmonary multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).
