Translocase I inhibitor compounds derived from capuramycin demonstrated rapid bactericidal activity against several different mycobacterial species. SQ641 was the most active of the compounds, with a MIC of 0.12 to 8 microg/ml, a postantibiotic effect of 55 h, and interesting synergistic effects with other antitubercular drugs.
