A single dose of Q203 (Telacebec), a phase 2 clinical candidate for tuberculosis, eradicates in a mouse model of Buruli ulcer infection without relapse up to 19 weeks posttreatment. Clinical use of Q203 may dramatically simplify the clinical management of Buruli ulcer, a neglected mycobacterial disease.
在感染了布鲁里溃疡的小鼠模型中,单次给予 Q203(结核病的 2 期临床候选药物)即可彻底消除感染,且在治疗后 19 周内无复发。Q203 的临床应用可能会极大地简化对布鲁里溃疡这种被忽视的分枝杆菌病的临床管理。
