                                        Comment: Timcodar (VX-853) is a pyridine compound that was developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals. It acts as a mammalian and bacterial efflux pump inhibitor. It was proposed to enhance activity of antibacterials such as rifampin, by inhibiting their efflux via bacterial efflux pumps [1,3]. It was also investigated for potential to prevent efflux of chemotherapy drugs, to enhance cancer treatment, and has been proposed as a possible antiobesity therapy [2].
