In order to overcome multidrug-resistant, extensively drug-resistant and complete drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB, XDR-TB and CDR-TB, respectively), a number of new tuberculosis drugs are being studied and introduced around the world. The group of diarylquinolines is defined as one of the most promising in terms of anti-tuberculosis activity. Along with foreign ones (bedaquiline, delamanid), domestic developments (perchlozone) are being introduced into the practice of M/XDR-TB treatment. At the same time, there are reports of identified resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to bedaquiline, which is relatively recently used to treat patients with M/XDR-TB. These prerequisites underlie the relevance of the development and introduction of new tuberculosis drugs in Russia, in particular, a new drug from the group of diarylquinolines with the working name thiozonide is at the stage of studying the tolerability, efficacy and safety
