DrugBank MoA: Sulfaphenazole is a sulfonamide antibacterial. In bacteria, antibacterial sulfonamides act as competitive inhibitors of the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase (DHPS), an enzyme involved in folate synthesis. As such, the microorganism will be "starved" of folate and die.
Targets: Dihydropteroate synthase inhibitor
Inclusion Criteria: Indication associated
