Also known as: Deltyba, Delamanid, DLM

CAS Number: 681492-22-8

Antitubercular (Nitro-dihydro-imidazooxazole)

Pharmacopeia Standards

Mechanism of Action

Delamanid is a nitroimidazooxazole prodrug bioactivated by the mycobacterial deazaflavin-dependent nitroreductase Ddn using cofactor F420. The activated species inhibits synthesis of methoxy-mycolic and keto-mycolic acids, disabling cell wall assembly. Reactive nitrogen intermediates released during activation add respiratory poisoning activity against non-replicating bacilli.
