AI prediction · nothing measured

Approved medicines with AI-predicted activity ≥40% against M. tuberculosis that are not already antimicrobials, have no registered study for this condition and have no laboratory record against it. Each shows what it is already used for. They were surfaced computationally for further investigation and are not presented as established treatments for this condition.

M. tuberculosis has 870 repurposing candidates in all. 35 are already listed above, with a registered study for this condition or a laboratory record, so the other 835 are listed here.

Sorted by AI-predicted activity, high to low. The order is not a ranking of which medicine is better.
