Novel antimicrobials for treatment ofMycobacterium tuberculosisare needed. We hypothesized that nicotinamide (NAM) and nicotinic acid (NA) modulate macrophage function to restrictM. tuberculosisreplication in addition to their direct antimicrobial properties. Both compounds had modest activity in 7H9 broth, but only NAM inhibited replication in macrophages. Surprisingly, in macrophages NAM and the related compound pyrazinamide restricted growth of bacille Calmette-Guérin but not wild-typeMycobacterium bovis, which both lack a functional nicotinamidase/pyrazinamidase (PncA) rendering each strain resistant to these drugs in broth culture. Interestingly, NAM was not active in macrophages infected with a virulentM. tuberculosismutant encoding a deletion inpncA. We conclude that the differential activity of NAM and nicotinic acid on infected macrophages suggests host-specific NAM targets rather than PncA-dependent direct antimicrobial properties. These activities are sufficient to restrict attenuated BCG, but not virulent wild-typeM. bovisorM. tuberculosis.
