Host-directed therapy in tuberculosis is a potential adjunct to antibiotic chemotherapy directed at Ambroxol, a lead compound, emerged from a screen for autophagy-inducing drugs. At clinically relevant doses, ambroxol induced autophagy and and promoted mycobacterial killing in macrophages. Ambroxol also potentiated rifampin activity in a murine tuberculosis model.
结核分枝杆菌宿主导向治疗是抗生素化学治疗的一种潜在辅助手段，针对的是从自噬诱导药物筛选中脱颖而出的先导化合物氨溴索。在临床相关剂量下，氨溴索诱导自噬，并促进巨噬细胞中分枝杆菌的杀伤。氨溴索还增强了利福平在小鼠结核模型中的活性。
