Development of novel anti-tuberculosis combination regimens that increase efficacy and reduce treatment timelines will improve patient compliance, limit side-effects, reduce costs, and enhance cure rates. Such advancements would significantly improve the global TB burden and reduce drug resistance acquisition. Bioenergetics has received considerable attention in recent years as a fertile area for anti-tuberculosis drug discovery. Targeting the electron transport chain (ETC) and oxidative phosphorylation machinery promises not only to kill growing cells but also metabolically dormant bacilli that are inherently more drug tolerant. Over the last two decades, a broad array of drugs targeting various ETC components have been developed. Here, we provide a focused review of the current state of art of bioenergetic inhibitors of

生物能抑制剂:抗生素在结核分枝杆菌中的功效和作用机制
开发可提高疗效并缩短治疗时间的新型抗结核联合方案将提高患者依从性、限制副作用、降低成本并提高治愈率。这些进步将显着改善全球结核病负担并减少耐药性的获得。近年来,生物能学作为抗结核药物发现的肥沃领域受到了相当大的关注。靶向电子传递链 (ETC) 和氧化磷酸化机制不仅可以杀死生长中的细胞,还可以杀死本来就更具耐药性的代谢休眠杆菌。在过去的 20 年中,已经开发出一系列针对各种 ETC 成分的药物。在这里,我们重点回顾了生物能抑制剂的当前技术水平
