Summary: | In an embodiment of the invention, a method of enhancing the efficacy of an anti-infective therapeutic agent against an obligate or facultative intracellular parasite in a host is provided. The method comprises administering to the host an effective amount of a bifunctional compound of less than about 5000 Daltons comprising the therapeutic or an active derivative, fragment or analog thereof and a protein binding moiety. The protein binding moiety binds to at least one intracellular protein. The bifunctional compound has a higher intracellular concentration as compared to the therapeutic itself in order to enhance the efficacy of the anti-infective therapeutic against the obligate or facultative intracellular parasite. |
