Sulfalene is a chemical compound that functions as a competitive inhibitor of dihydropteroate synthase, an enzyme involved in the folate synthesis pathway in bacteria. By inhibiting this enzyme, sulfalene disrupts the production of tetrahydrofolic acid for the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins in bacterial cells. This disruption ultimately leads to the inhibition of bacterial growth and reproduction. Sulfalene achieves this by binding to the active site of dihydropteroate synthase, preventing the enzyme from catalyzing the formation of dihydropteroic acid, a precursor in folate synthesis.
