SRI-286, a thiosemicarbazole, in combination with mefloquine and moxifloxacin for treatment of murine Mycobacterium avium complex disease.
    Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2004, Volume: 48, Issue:9

    Treatment of Mycobacterium avium disease remains challenging when macrolide resistance develops. We infected C57 beige mice and treated them with mefloquine, SRI-286, and moxifloxacin. SRI-286 (80 mg/kg) was bactericidal in the liver. Mefloquine plus moxifloxacin or mefloquine plus SRI-286 were better than mefloquine alone.

Thiosemicarbazole (thiacetazone-like) compound with activity against Mycobacterium avium in mice.
    Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2003, Volume: 47, Issue:8

    In vitro screening of thiacetazone derivatives indicated that two derivatives, SRI-286 and SRI-224, inhibited a panel of 25 Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) isolates at concentrations of 2 micro g/ml or lower. In mice, SRI-224 and thiacetazone had no significant activity against the MAC in livers and spleens, but treatment with SRI-286 resulted in significant reduction of bacterial loads in livers and spleens. A combination of SRI-286 and moxifloxacin was significantly more active than single drug regimens in liver and spleen.
