A OVERVIEW ON BEDAQUILINE FOR THE TREATMENT OF DRUGRESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS Authors: P. Sivaram Kumar , M. ARAVIND, M. VENKATA RAMANA, RAMARAO N
ABSTRACT
Bedaquiline has been recently approved drug moiety for the treatment of pneumonic
multidrug-safe tuberculosis (TB) as a component of mixed treatment in adults. Existing
medicines for multi-drug safe tuberculosis (MDR-TB) have significant limitations, to the
extent of their feasibility, result profile, and unconventionality of association. Bedaquiline is
a novel diarylquinoline against microbial that has starting late been investigated as an
assistant to existing medicines for MDR-TB. In this review, the overall properties of
bedaquiline were consolidated like physicochemical properties, dose administration,
mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics,drug interactions, and side
effects for better understanding.
