Comment: TBAJ-876, an analogue of bedaquiline, was discovered at the University of Auckland following a lead optimization project to identify novel members of the diarylquinolines class of antibacterial compounds [3]. TBAJ-876 has a more favourable ADME profile, lower risk of QT prolongation, and more potent antimycobacterial activity than bedaquiline [3].

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
TBAJ-876 is under clinical development as an oral treatment for TB. Phase 1 studies, to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy adults (NCT04493671, NCT05526911) have been completed. A Phase 2 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TBAJ-876 in combination with pretomanid and linezolid in adult participants with drug-susceptible tuberculosis (DS-TB) is due to commence in 2024. |
