The present invention relates to the field of
biopharmaceutical technology, and in particular, to use of a
nitroimidazole derivative or a pharmaceutical combination in the preparation of a medicament against
drug-sensitive
tuberculosis. Animal studies, phase I and phase II clinical trials, and the optimization of dosage and
route of administration have demonstrated that the
nitroimidazole derivative has no significant
drug accumulation, no significant
reproductive toxicity, no significant
cardiotoxicity, and no QT
prolongation effects. Compared with existing drugs such as delamanid, the
nitroimidazole derivative has shorter
treatment time, more significant therapeutic effects, and higher safety. Especially in pulmonary images, the cavities in patients are significantly reduced, or the lesions are significantly absorbed, suggesting that the nitroimidazole derivative is promising as a novel
drug for preventing and treating drug-sensitive
tuberculosis.
