ABSTRACT Background and Aims Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health problem, and treatment progress is increasingly threatened by rising multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB). Delamanid (DLM), a nitroimidazole drug, has shown good efficacy and safety against both drug‐susceptible and drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains.

ABSTRACT Bedaquiline is approved for use in a thrice‐weekly dosing schedule; simpler once‐daily dosing strategies could enable fixed‐dose combinations and improve patient adherence. We developed an interactive R Shiny simulation tool to enable the evaluation of different bedaquiline dosing schedules within an integrated dose‐pharmacokinetic‐efficacy ...

This study investigates the mycobacterial membrane protein MmpL3, a key target for new antituberculosis drugs, by combining high‐resolution crystallography and computational simulations. It reveals how the inhibitor UPAR‐1109 binds to MmpL3, providing detailed insights into the function and flexibility of the protein and supporting the rational design ...

Applicability of the shorter ‘Bangladesh regimen’ in high multidrug-resistant tuberculosis settings
In spite of the recent introduction of two new drugs (delamanid and bedaquiline) and a few repurposed compounds to treat multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR- and XDR-TB), clinicians are facing increasing problems in ...
