• Bacteria were harvested, washed twice and suspended in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5). The bacteria were then sonicated and allowed to stand for 1 hour to allow residual aggregates to settle. The bacterial suspensions were then aliquoted and frozen at -80°C. A single defrosted aliquot was used to quantify the CFUs (colony forming units) prior to inoculation and typical stock concentrations were about 2 to 5 x 10° CFU/mL.

The compounds were kept frozen until use. For screening, compound plates were incubated at room temperature until thawed.
• the compounds were directly added into the assay plates from the DMSO stock using an EVObird liquid handler (Evotec Technologies), which transfers 250 nl of compound twice to reach a final dilution of 1 :100.

• Cells were first seeded in 50 ⁇ at a density of 20,000 cells per well of a 384- well plate (Evotec technologies #781058) for 16 hours and then infected with bacterial suspensions at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) varying from 10: 1 to 1 :1 (bacteria:host cells).

• Cells (1.5 x 10 8 cells) were infected with H37Rv-GFP suspension at a MOI of 1 : 1 in 300 mL for 2 hours at 37 °C with shaking (100 rpm). After two washes by centrifugation at 1 100 rpm (Beckman SX4250, 165 g) for 5 min., the remaining extracellular bacilli from the infected cells suspension were killed by a 1 hour amykacin (20 ⁇ , Sigma, A2324-5G) treatment. After a final centrifugation step, cells were dispensed with the Wellmate (Matrix) into 384- well Evotec plates (#781058) preplated with 10 ⁇ of the respective compound diluted in cell medium.
• Infected cells were then incubated in the presence of the compound for 5 days at 37 °C, 5% C0 2 . After five days, macrophages were stained with SYTO 60 (Invitrogen, SI 1342) followed by plate sealing and image acquisition. During screening, staining of the live cells was carried out on a set of three plates every two hours to limit cell death due to prolonged incubation with cell chemical stain.
• Confocal images were recorded on an automated fluorescent confocal microscope OperaTM (Evotec Technologies) using a 20X-water objective (NA 0.70), 488-nm and 635-nm lasers and a 488/635 primary dichroic mirror. Each image was then processed using dedicated in- house image analysis software (IM). Parameters determined were the total cell number and the number of infected cells. Briefly, the algorithm first segments the cells on the red channel using a sequence of processing steps as described elsewhere (Fenistein et ah, 2008).
• Infected cells are then defined as those having at least a given number of pixels (usually 3) whose intensity in the green channel is above a given intensity threshold. The ratio of infected cells to the total number of cells is the measure of interest (named infection ratio). For each well, 4 pictures were recorded and for each parameter, the mean of the four images was used.

• the host live cells were daily labeled with the red chemical fluorescent dye Syto60, and confocal images of live samples were acquired using an automated confocal microscope. Typical images are displayed in Figure la.
• a few discrete weakly fluorescent bacteria localized within the cells.
• the average number of cells had increased and mycobacteria had started to spread into neighboring cells leading to zones of strongly fluorescent bacteria.
• an in-house image analysis script was developed. This script enables the automated quantification of the number of cells and the percentage of infected cells, whereby an infected cell is a cell containing at least three green pixels with an intensity above a defined threshold ( Figure lb). 2 hours after infection, between 2 and 10% of Raw264.7 cells were found to harbor a low number of bacilli ( Figure lc). The percentage of infected cells, hereafter named infection ratio, continued to increase from 72 hours post-infection reaching up to 70% at seven days post infection. This increase in infection ratio correlated with an increase in cell mortality ( Figure ld/e).
• Example 2 Comparative minimal inhibitory concentration of known anti-tubercular drugs
• macrophages were infected in batch with M. tuberculosis before being dispensed onto the compounds.
• the batch infection was carried out with macrophages in suspension at 37°C under mild shaking. Free unbound mycobacteria were removed by washing three times with PBS and differential centrifugation, as well as by an additional one-hour incubation step with amykacin, an antibiotic known to selectively kill extracellular microbes (Figure 6a).
• M. tuberculosis infected macrophages were then seeded in plates that had been previously dispensed with the compounds, DMSO or antibiotic controls. The day-to-day as well as plate-to plate reproducibility was first tested.
• Example 4 Primary screening of a large library of small synthetic compounds using the phenotypic cell-based assay
• a 26500 small molecule compound library that was selected for its high chemical diversity and drug-like properties according to the Lipinski rules (Lipinski et al., 2001), was chosen as the first library to be screened using the validated phenotypic cell-based assay.
• the primary screen was carried out with compounds at 20 ⁇ in singleton.
• the throughput was set to about 6000 compounds per working day encompassing 25 plates.
• the screening was performed with Raw264.7 cells that had been expanded from frozen stocks for ten days before infection with M. tuberculosis H37Rv-GFP.
• the MICs obtained from 2 serial dilutions of ⁇ and Rifampin processed at the beginning and at the end of the screening day should show similar results compared to the values obtained during the validation (see above).
• Each screened plate is then accepted by the quality control procedure if the window between DMSO and INH ( ⁇ g/ml) is higher than 3 and the CV calculated for the 320 compounds present in each plate is lower than 25.
• Such quality control criteria allow the identification of hits with an activity higher than 75%.
• the percent inhibition for each compound was determined relative to the corresponding mean infection ratio between 1 ⁇ g/mL INH (100%) and DMSO (0%) in the same 384-well plate. The percent inhibition distribution is centered around -20% of inhibition ( Figure 4a). It was decided to select compounds that have an inhibitory effect greater than 65% which corresponds to a little less than 1.5 % of the total compounds.
• cell cytotoxicity An important parameter that can be measured during image analysis is the total cell number, also referred to as cell cytotoxicity.
• a low cell number can be the result of two independent phenomena, the compound toxicity and M. tuberculosis growth mediated cell toxicity. Indeed, at day 5 after infection with M. tuberculosis, the cell number decreased to less than 100 cells per image compared to more than 500 cells per image for uninfected cells ( Figure le). In contrast, a high cell number is obtained only when the compound is not toxic and prevents mycobacterial growth. This turns out to be a second relevant measurement of a compound's anti-mycobacterial activity.
• the 657 selected hits were first confirmed at 3 different concentrations, 20 ⁇ , 2 ⁇ and 0.2 ⁇ .

From this latter list, 121 compounds demonstrated an inhibitory activity above 65% at 2 ⁇ without any apparent cell toxicity at 20 ⁇ and consequently were selected for further confirmation by ten 3-fold serial dilutions. All 121 compounds were confirmed by serial dilution with a MIC ranging between 250 nM and 20 ⁇ .
• the results shown in Figure 5 are representative of the three types of behavior observed: most of the compounds exhibited a clear dose response curve when activity was measured as infection ratio (Figure 5b/e/h).
• the 121 confirmed hits can be clustered as various independent/general scaffolds.
• the number of compounds for each scaffold varied, ranging from 1 to 69 molecules.
