General description

Chemical structure: sulfonamide

Application

Sulfaguanidine is used to block the synthesis of folic acid. It is used to study its effect on microsporidial growth and host cell viability.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sulfaguanidine is a sulfonamide antibiotic. Sulfonamides block the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteroate synthase. Sulfonamides are competitive inhibitors of bacterial para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), which is required for bacterial synthesis of folic acid. Sulfaguanidine is a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor. Sulfonamides are active against Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative bacteria. Mode of resistance is via the alteration of dihydropteroate synthase or alternative pathway for folic acid synthesis.
