Sulfadimethoxine is a sulfonamide antibiotic that is active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and other microorganisms. It inhibits recombinant P. carinii dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS IC50 = 25 nM), an enzyme required for folate biosynthesis, in a cell-free assay. It does this by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for the binding site on dihydropteroate synthase. Sulfadimethoxine is active against S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, K. pneumoniae, and E. coli in a disc assay. It is also active against C. spiroforme isolates from rabbits (MIC90 = 256 μg/ml) and certain M. bovoculi isolates from keratoconjunctivitis infections in cows (MIC50 = ≤256 μg/ml). Sulfadimethoxine is efficacious against S. pneumoniae, K. pneumoniae, and E. coli systemic infections in mice with 50% curative dose (CD50) values of 79.7, 2.7, and 12.2 mg/kg, respectively. It is also efficacious against H. capsulatum systemic fungal infections in mice (CD50 = 300 mg/kg).
