Mechanism of action
![Page 6: Sulphonamides Dr. Anuradha nischal synthetic antimicrobial agents simply called sulfa drugs Primarily Bacteriostatic drugs Cellular & humoral immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5697bf791a28abf838c8246c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Competitive inhibitors of dihydropteroate synthase
bacterial enzyme responsible for the incorporation of PABA into dihydropteroic acid
immediate precursor of folic acid.
![Page 7: Sulphonamides Dr. Anuradha nischal synthetic antimicrobial agents simply called sulfa drugs Primarily Bacteriostatic drugs Cellular & humoral immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5697bf791a28abf838c8246c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pteridine + PABA/ sulpho.. Dihydropteroate synthase
Dihydropteroic acid
Dihydrofolic acid
Dihydrofolate reductase
Tetrahydrofolic acid
![Page 8: Sulphonamides Dr. Anuradha nischal synthetic antimicrobial agents simply called sulfa drugs Primarily Bacteriostatic drugs Cellular & humoral immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5697bf791a28abf838c8246c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: Sulphonamides Dr. Anuradha nischal synthetic antimicrobial agents simply called sulfa drugs Primarily Bacteriostatic drugs Cellular & humoral immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5697bf791a28abf838c8246c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Folic acid is used for the synthesis of purines and thymine Required for formation of DNATherefore folic acid is required for
replication of cellular genes. Important function of folic acid is to
promote growth so in its absence organism grows very little.
![Page 10: Sulphonamides Dr. Anuradha nischal synthetic antimicrobial agents simply called sulfa drugs Primarily Bacteriostatic drugs Cellular & humoral immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5697bf791a28abf838c8246c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sulfonamides are Also k/a anti-metabolites
i.e. They block the essential enzymes of folate metabolism.
![Page 11: Sulphonamides Dr. Anuradha nischal synthetic antimicrobial agents simply called sulfa drugs Primarily Bacteriostatic drugs Cellular & humoral immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5697bf791a28abf838c8246c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mechanism of action
Structural analogues of PABA (para-amino benzoic acid)
Sulfonamide gets incorporated to form an altered folate which is metabolically injurious.
![Page 12: Sulphonamides Dr. Anuradha nischal synthetic antimicrobial agents simply called sulfa drugs Primarily Bacteriostatic drugs Cellular & humoral immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5697bf791a28abf838c8246c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sensitive micro-organisms are those that must synthesize their own folic acid. Bacteria that can use preformed folate are not affected.
Bacteriostasis induced by sulfonamides is counteracted by PABA competitively.Pus rich in PABAEfficacy is lost
Mammalian cells are not affected, they require preformed folic acid and cannot synthesize it
