SQ641
SQ641 is a translocase I (TL1) inhibitor that blocks peptidoglycan biosynthesis. SQ641 exerts bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and has a prolonged post-antibiotic effect. SQ641 shows synergistic activity with Ethambutol (HY-B0535), Streptomycin (HY-B1906), and SQ109 (HY-14989), and is able to suppress the emergence of drug-resistant mycobacterial mutants. SQ641-derived phospholipid-based nanoemulsion formulation SQ641-NE exhibits intracellular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in macrophages and reduces splenic CFU in mouse tuberculosis models. SQ641 in TPGS-solubilized solutions or TPGS micelles reduces lung CFU. SQ641 can be used for research on tuberculosis.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
SQ641 exhibits activity against M. tuberculosis (MIC 1.0 µg/mL) and the M. avium complex (MIC 0.016-16 µg/mL), with a post-antibiotic effect against M. tuberculosis of 55 h[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
SQ641-derived phospholipid-based nanoemulsion formulation SQ641-NE (100-250 mg/kg; i.v. twice weekly for 4 weeks; i.p. five times weekly for 4 weeks) shows reduced efficacy in M. tuberculosis-infected C57BL/6 mice, with only a modest reduction in spleen CFU and no reduction in lung CFU[1].
SQ641 (25-100 mg/kg; i.p. or i.v.; five times per week or twice per week; 4 weeks) reduces M. tuberculosis CFU in the lungs of chronically infected mice, where i.v. micelle monotherapy at 50 mg/kg produces the lowest lung CFU, and the i.v. combination with INH (HY-B0329) further reduces CFU[2].
