Q203 (6-chloro-2-ethyl-N-(4-(4-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)piperidin-1-yl)benzyl)imidazo [1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide) is an an imidazopyridine antitubercular compound. Q203 targets the cytochrome b subunit (QcrB) of the cytochrome bc1 complex. This complex is an essential component of the respiratory electron transport chain of ATP synthesis. Q203 inhibited the growth of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tuberculosis clinical isolates in culture broth medium in the low nanomolar range and was efficacious in a mouse model of tuberculosis at a dose less than 1 mg per kg body weight, which highlights the potency of this compound. In addition, Q203 displays pharmacokinetic and safety profiles compatible with once-daily dosing. Q203 is a promising new clinical candidate for the treatment of tuberculosis.
