About the Raw Material: Application & Mechanism

Pretomanid is a vital Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and a cornerstone of the world's most effective short-course regimen for highly drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Primary Application

Pretomanid API is specifically utilized in the manufacture of finished drug formulations indicated for the treatment of Pulmonary Extensively Drug-Resistant (XDR-TB) and Multidrug-Resistant (MDR-TB) in adults who are treatment-intolerant or non-responsive to standard therapy.


It is typically administered as part of a triple-drug, all-oral combination regimen with Bedaquiline and Linezolid (BPaL regimen).

Mechanism of Action (MoA)

Pretomanid is a prodrug that is activated inside Mycobacterium tuberculosis cells by the Ddn nitroreductase enzyme. Its potent bactericidal activity targets both active and non-replicating bacteria through a dual mechanism:


  1. Inhibition of Cell Wall Synthesis: In actively replicating cells, it blocks the biosynthesis of mycolic acids, a crucial component of the mycobacterial cell wall.
  2. Respiratory Poison: In non-replicating (dormant) cells, it generates reactive nitrogen species (like nitric oxide), effectively acting as a respiratory poison.


The result is potent activity against even highly resistant strains of M. tuberculosis.
