The diarylquinoline F1FO-ATP synthase inhibitor bedaquiline (BDQ) displays protonophore activity. Thus, uncoupling electron transport from ATP synthesis appears to be a second mechanism of action of this antimycobacterial drug. Here, we show that the new BDQ analogue TBAJ-876 did not retain the pare...
