Name
Trimethoprim hydrochloride
Drug Entry
Trimethoprim

Trimethoprim is an antifolate antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), a critical enzyme that catalyzes the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid (THF) - in doing so, it prevents the synthesis of bacterial DNA and ultimately continued bacterial survival.14 Trimethoprim is often used in combination with sulfamethoxazole due to their complementary and synergistic mechanisms but may be used as a monotherapy in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of urinary tract infections.14,16 It is structurally and chemically related to pyrimethamine, another antifolate antimicrobial used in the treatment of plasmodial infections.11
