Ethylsulfamic acid is a sulfamic acid that is used as an industrial chemical to manufacture other compounds. It is also used in the treatment of wastewater and in the purification of drinking water. Ethylsulfamic acid has been shown to inhibit HIV infection by preventing the virus from replicating. This drug binds to the active site of reverse transcriptase, blocking RNA/DNA polymerase activity and inhibiting DNA synthesis. Ethylsulfamic acid has been shown to have therapeutic value for cancer patients with low serum levels of thymidylate, which may be due to its ability to inhibit carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS-I) and thymidylate synthetase (TS).
