Bioactivity Comments |
The MIC for in vitro antimycobacterial activity is 0.080-0.115 μg/ml against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and <0.016-0.167 μg/ml against multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates [1]. In vivo, OTB-658 reduces colony-forming unit (CFU) counts in the lungs and spleen in acute and chronic murine tuberculosis (TB) infection models [1]. It also shows promising efficacy when used in TB murine models as a replacement for linezolid [3]. |
