Bedaquiline
Bedaquiline (trade name Sirturo, code names TMC207 and R207910) is a medication used to treat tuberculosis.
It was discovered by a team led by Koen Andries at Janssen Pharmaceutica. When it was approved by the FDA on the 28th December 2012, it was the first new medicine for TB in more than forty years, and is specifically approved to treat multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system.
