The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of delamanid against _Mycobacterium tuberculosis_ isolates ranges from 0.006 to 0.024 g/mL. Among non-tuberculosis mycobacteria, delamanid has _in vitro_ activity against _M. kansasii_ and _M. bovis_. Delamanid has no in vitro activity against Gram negative or positive bacterial species and does not display cross-resistance to other anti-tuberculosis drugs. In murine models of chronic tuberculosis, the reduction of _M. tuberculosis_ colony counts by delamanid was demonstrated in a dose-dependent manner. Repeated dosing of delamanid may cause QTc-prolongation via inhibition of cardiac potassium channel (hERG channel), and this effect is mostly contributed by the main metabolite of delamanid, DM-6705. Animal studies indicate that delamanid may attenuate vitamin K-dependent blood clotting, increase prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT).

Delamanid is a prodrug that requires biotransformation via via the mycobacterial F420 coenzyme system, including the deazaflavin dependent nitroreductase (Rv3547), to mediate its antimycobacterial activity against both growing and nongrowing mycobacteria. Mutations in one of five coenzyme F420 genes, _fgd, Rv3547, fbiA, fbiB, and fbiC_ has been proposed as the mechanism of resistance to delamanid. Upon activation, the radical intermediate formed between delamanid and desnitro-imidazooxazole derivative is thought to mediate antimycobacterial actions via inhibition of methoxy-mycolic and keto-mycolic acid synthesis, leading to depletion of mycobacterial cell wall components and destruction of the mycobacteria. Nitroimidazooxazole derivative is thought to generate reactive nitrogen species, including nitrogen oxide (NO). However unlike isoniazid, delamanid does not alpha-mycolic acid.
