Description

<p>Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In recent years, the spread of multi-drug resistant Mtb (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant Mtb (XDR-TB) strains have greatly complicated treatment and reduces successful treatment outcomes. Furthermore, the co-infection of TB and HIV has become a critical issue. In spite of this situation, one of the first anti-TB medications developed in the last 40 years with a novel structure and mechanism of action has the potential to alter the current treatment landscape. Otsuka was interested in the nitroimidazooxazole structure having anti-TB activities as the lead compound, and we expanded mainly a side chain moiety of the second position. We optimized these derivatives by the measurement of in vitro antitubercular activities and the in vivo examination in TB-infected mice. As a result, we found many derivatives having potent in vitro and in vivo activities without mutagenicity, and finally discovered delamanid for the treatment of multi-drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.</p>
