Drug Interactions
Increased risk of QT interval prolongation with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ritonavir, lopinavir), certain antimicrobials (e.g. clarithromycin, erythromycin, moxifloxacin), neuroleptics (e.g. phenothiazines, haloperidol), antiarrhythmics (e.g. amiodarone, quinidine), certain non-sedating antihistamines (e.g. terfenadine, astemizole), cisapride, droperidol, domperidone, methadone.

Action
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Delamanid is a nitroimidazo-oxazole antimycobacterial prodrug that is activated through bioreduction of its nitro group by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It inhibits the synthesis of mycobacterial cell wall components, methoxymycolic and ketomycolic acids.
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption: Increased bioavailability with food.
Distribution: Widely distributed throughout the body. Plasma protein binding: ≥99.5%.
Metabolism: Metabolised mainly in plasma by albumin and to a lesser extent via hydroxylation and oxidation by CYP3A4 enzymes to form DM-6705.
Excretion: Mainly via faeces. Elimination half-life: Approx 30-38 hours.
