INTRODUCTION
The diarylquinoline, TMC207 (formerly R207190), is a new antituberculosis drug1 under assessment in a phase II clinical trial in which it was added to a background regimen for the treatment ofmulti-drug resistant (MDR) pulmonary tuberculosis.2 In this trial, sputum conversion to negativity has occurred after 8 weeks of treatment in 48% of 23 patients on TMC207 background drugs compared to 9% of 24 on placebo + background drugs. Peak plasma concentrations of 3.2 g/ml and 1.7 g/ml and trough concentrations of 1.0 and 0.7 g/ml were found during dosage with 400 mg daily or 200 mg thrice weekly, respectively. TMC207 acts by selective inhibition of mycobacterial ATP synthase. The factors that will affect its antibacterial activity in comparing intracellular and extra-cellular activity are (1) the concentration of ATP and the energy pool present in each of the bacterial populations at the start of its activity. The available concentration of TMC207. We therefore compared the extra-cellular activity of TMC207 with its activity on the J774 macrophage- like cell line.

DOSE:
400mg for first two weeks 200mg three times per week for 22 week
ADRs:
QT prolongation Nausea Diarrhoea Arthralgia Hyperuricemia Eye Disorders
EXTRA-CELLULAR ACTIVITY
A 6 ml volume of a 7-day culture of M. tuberculosis, H37Rv in 7H9 broth was added to 200 ml 7H9 broth. After incubation for 4 days, the inoculated medium was dispensed into 30-ml screw capped universal containers and TMC207 added Immediately (day-0). After 7, 15 and 22 days of incubation at 37 C, samples were ultrasonicated briefly and viable counts set up.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
There were two experiments in each of which a comparison was made between the activities of TMC207 in the range of 0.006-1.0 g/ml on M. tuberculosis in each of the two conditions: extra-cellular and J774 cell line In further single experiments in each condition, the range of TMC207 was increased to 0.25-32 g/ml. In each experiment, test cultures were set up in duplicate for extra-cellular cultures and in triplicate with the J774 cells. Serial 10-fold dilutions were made from each culture, and an inoculum of 0.1 ml from each was added to a one-third segment of a 7H11 plate in duplicate. Plates were packed into polyethylene bags and incubated for 3-4 weeks at 37 C before colony forming units (cfu) were counted.
RESULTS
DISCUSSION
Our data present evidence that TMC207, in combination with a five-drug secondline regimen, had an acceptable side-effect profile; reduced the time to sputumculture conversion in patients with newly diagnosed, smear-positive, multidrugresistant tuberculosis; and significantly increased the proportion of patients with negative sputum cultures after 8 weeks. The inhibition of the bacterial ATP synthase by TMC207 reduces the internal energy pool until it reaches a specific lethal level, perhaps causing membrane instability. The sputum cfu counts after treatment of patients with TMC207 alone for 7 days in the early bactericidal activity study.
CONCLUSION
Bedaquiline has shown definite beneficial effects in combination with other anti-TB drugs. Bedaquiline is the first new anti-TB drug to be approved by the FDA (on 28thDecember, 2012) in more than 40 years. It was approved under the FDAs accelerated review program that allows promising drugs to be brought to market more Quickly\ It is an attractive option for MDR and XDR- TB and shortening the duration of anti- TB therapy. Careful use of this drug along with monitoring of the potential adverse effects and drug interactions becomes very important.
