The KasA inhibitor JSF-3285 improves the sterilizing activity of bedaquiline-pretomanid-containing regimens in a mouse model of tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT: JSF-3285 is a promising preclinical candidate for tuberculosis that potently targets the Mycobacterium tuberculosis β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase KasA. In mouse models of acute, sub-acute, chronic, and relapse infection, JSF-3285 offers substantial activity in combination with bedaquiline and pretomanid, which could be applicable for both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant infections.
