The unmet medical need for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DRTB) is a significant concern. Accordingly, identifying new drug targets for tuberculosis (TB) treatment and developing new therapies based on these drug targets is one of the strategies to tackle DRTB. QcrB is an innovative drug target to create treatments for DRTB. This article highlights QcrB inhibitors and their therapeutic compositions for treating TB. The literature for this article was gathered from PubMed and free patent databases utilizing different keywords related to QcrB inhibitor-based inventions. The data was collected from the conceptualization of telacebec (2010) QcrB to December 2022. A little interesting and encouraging research has been performed on QcrB inhibitors. Telacebec and TB47 are established QcrB inhibitors in the clinical trial. The inventive QcrB inhibitor-based drug combinations can potentially handle DRTB and reduce the TB therapy duration. The authors anticipate great opportunities in fostering QcrB inhibitor-based patentable pharmaceutical inventions against TB. Drug repurposing can be a promising strategy to get safe and effective QcrB inhibitors. However, developing drug resistance, drug tolerance, and selectivity of QcrB inhibitors for Mtb will be the main challenges in developing effective QcrB inhibitors. In conclusion, QcrB is a promising drug target for developing effective treatments for active, latent, and drug-resistant TB. Many inventive and patentable combinations and compositions of QcrB inhibitors with other anti-TB drugs are anticipated as future treatments for TB.
