“…Several preclinical‐stage drugs targeting the type II NADH dehydrogenases (Weinstein et al , 2005; Warman et al , 2013; Dunn et al , 2014), the cytochrome bcc:aa 3 (Moraski et al , 2011; Abrahams et al , 2012; Moraski et al , 2013; Pethe et al , 2013; Rybniker et al , 2015; Moraski et al , 2016), and menaquinone synthesis were discovered (Lu et al , 2008; Debnath et al , 2012; Lu et al , 2012). Telacebec (Q203), a drug candidate targeting the cytochrome bcc:aa 3 terminal oxidase (Pethe et al , 2013), recently demonstrated a favorable safety profile and potency in a phase 2 clinical trial (de Jager et al , 2020). Q203 binds to the cytochrome b subunit of the cytochrome bcc and is bacteriostatic in low nanomolar concentration (Pethe et al , 2013).…”
