Bedaquiline (also known as TMC207 or R207910) is an experimental diarylquinoline anti-tuberculosis drug, which was discovered by Koen Andries and his team at Janssen Pharmaceutica.[1] It was described for the first time in 2004 at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) meeting Late-Breaker Session, after the drug had been in development for over 7 years,[2] and a trial of 47 patients showed that it is effective in the treatment of M. tuberculosis.[3]
Bedaquiline has been successfully applied in a phase II efficacy study and is being developed by Tibotec and the TB Alliance.[4]
Bedaquiline affects the proton pump for ATP synthase, which is unlike the quinolones, whose target is DNA gyrase.[5]
