    Product Description

    Q203 is an imidazopyridine amide antibiotic.1 It is active against M. tuberculosis and M. ulcerans (MIC50s = 2.7 and 0.86 nM, respectively).1,2 Q203 binds to the oxidation site on mitochondrial complex III, also known as cytochrome bc1 complex, and disrupts ATP synthesis in M. tuberculosis (IC50 = 1.1 nM).1 It reduces bacterial load, as well as the number of lung colony forming units (CFUs) and granulomatous foci in a mouse model of M. tuberculosis infection when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg for three days.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
