Gallium hematoporphyrin is a heme analogue and a selective targeting agent against Mycobacteroides abscessus. Gallium hematoporphyrin induces ROS production and inhibits biofilm formation as well as disrupts preformed biofilms in both smooth and rough colony morphotypes of Mycobacteroides abscessus. Gallium hematoporphyrin interferes with heme-dependent metabolic pathways and suppresses the growth of clinical Mycobacteroides abscessus isolatess, with MICs ranging from 0.5 to 1 µg/ml. Gallium hematoporphyrin exhibits synergistic antibacterial activity with Clarithromycin (HY-17508) against Mycobacteroides abscessus. Gallium hematoporphyrin can be used for the research of Mycobacteroides abscessus infection[1].
