Description

N-Methyl-5-tetrazolethiol is a vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) analog that inhibits bacterial growth by competitively inhibiting enzymes involved in the synthesis of folate. It has been shown to be toxic for animals and humans at high doses, but the toxicity of this compound has not been studied extensively. N-Methyl-5-tetrazolethiol has been shown to inhibit the activity of enzymes such as methionine synthase, cytochrome C reductase, and nitroreductase in vitro. This drug is used as a treatment for infectious diseases such as malaria and toxoplasmosis. The mechanism of action of N-methyl tetrazolethiol is not known, but it is believed to be related to its ability to inhibit enzyme activity.
