Abstrakt: ABSTRACTWe report here a series of five chemically diverse scaffolds that have in vitroactivities on replicating and hypoxic nonreplicating bacilli by targeting the respiratory bc1complex in Mycobacterium tuberculosisin a strain-dependent manner. Deletion of the cytochrome bdoxidase generated a hypersusceptible mutant in which resistance was acquired by a mutation in qcrB. These results highlight the promiscuity of the bc1complex and the risk of targeting energy metabolism with new drugs.
