Abstract

Organosilicon compounds are efflux pump inhibitors with potency as an antituberculosis drug. Of the organisilicon compounds tested, SILA 421 has been shown to have a highest potency as an antituberculosis drug (1). It shares the common pathways for antimycobacterial killing with other efflux pump inhibitors: it revealed direct in vitro activity against M. tuberculosis (1), it has been shown to modify resistance by inhibiting mdr-1 efflux pumps and has shown to enhance killing of M. tuberculosis by macrophages (1).
