Abstract
AN12855 is a direct, cofactor-independent inhibitor of InhA inIn the C3HeB/FeJ mouse model with caseous necrotic lung lesions, AN12855 proved efficacious with a significantly lower resistance frequency than isoniazid. AN12855 drug levels were better retained in necrotic lesions and caseum where the majority of hard to treat, extracellular bacilli reside. Owing to these combined attributes, AN12855 represents a promising alternative to the frontline antituberculosis agent isoniazid.
