Bedaquiline is an antituberculosis medication used to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). It is a diarylquinoline that works by inhibiting the ATP synthase enzyme of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, thereby disrupting the bacterium's energy production and leading to its death. It is usually prescribed as part of a combination therapy for MDR-TB cases, as mono-therapy can contribute to the development of resistance. Bedaquiline was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012 and is under the brand name Sirturo.
