ANTIBACTERIAL AGENT
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Teva-Trimel (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is an antibacterial
agent with a wide spectrum
of activity. It contains two active antibacterial components,
sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim,
which act synergistically on many species of bacteria.
FIGURE 1
Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim act sequentially in two successive
steps in the biosynthesis
of nucleic acids. Trimethoprim is an inhibitor of dihydrofolate
reductase, the enzyme which
reduces dihydrofolic acid to its tetrahydro form. This biochemical
step is essential in the
production of the folate coenzymes which are involved in the
biosynthesis of thymine, purine,
serine and methionine. Sulfamethoxazole exerts its antibacterial
activity by competing with para-
aminobenzoic acid.
Most pathogenic bacteria meet their need for dihydrofolic acid by
synthesizing it from para-
aminobenzoic acid, pteridine and glutamic acid. Animals, in contrast,
depend on exogenous
sources for their needs of folic acid and do not rely upon
intracellular synthesis.
Under usual circumstances, sulfamethoxazole or trimethoprim acting
alone do not produce
complete block in this biosynthesis of nucleic acids. Instead, they
cause sufficient reduction in
the synthesis of folate coenzymes to produce bacteriostasis. When the
two agents act together,
the superimposition of their effects produces a complete block in the
synthesis, leading to death
