Abstract
Griselimycin (GM), a natural product isolated a half century ago, is having a bit of a renaissance. After being known for more than 50 years, it is now being pursued as a treatment for tuberculosis. With the new mechanism of action, excellent in vitro and in vivo activity against sensitive and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the improved pharmacokinetic properties, the cyclohexyl derivative of GM demonstrates a high translational potential.
