Abstract:
A self-assembled nanoparticle containing a photosensitizer and a Trojan-horse moiety (cholesterol), binds an anti-TB pro-drug and increases 1000-fold its activity against mycobacteria. These minimalist constructs will allow development of economically viable, efficient drug preparations for the treatment of drug-resistant TB infections.
