A number of inhibitors of the essential Mycobacterium tuberculosis mycolic acid transporter, MmpL3, are currently under development as potential novel antituberculosis agents. Using the checkerboard method to study the interaction profiles of various antituberculosis drugs or experimental compounds with two different chemotypes inhibiting this transporter (indolcarboxamides and adamantyl ureas), we showed that MmpL3 inhibitors act synergistically with rifampin, bedaquiline, clofazimine, and beta-lactams.
