Produktinformation

• Name: Sulfamethylphenazole
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Sulfamethylphenazole is a synthetic antibacterial compound, which is derived from sulfonamides. It functions by inhibiting bacterial dihydropteroate synthase, an enzyme crucial for the synthesis of folate in bacteria. This inhibition leads to the depletion of folate coenzymes, which are essential for DNA synthesis and cell replication in bacteria. As a result, Sulfamethylphenazole effectively halts bacterial growth by exploiting the reliance of bacteria on folate synthesis, a pathway absent in human cells, thereby offering selective toxicity.
