Common Name

Slifadoxine Description

Slifadoxine is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a long acting slifonamide that is used, usually in combination with other drugs, for respiratory, urinary tract, and malarial infections. [PubChem]Slifadoxine is a slifa drug, often used in combination with pyrimethamine to treat malaria. This medicine may also be used to prevent malaria in people who are living in, or will be traveling to, an area where there is a chance of getting malaria. Slifadoxine targets Plasmodium dihydropteroate synthase and dihydrofolate reductase. Slifa drugs or Slifonamides are antimetabolites. They compete with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for incorporation into folic acid. The action of slifonamides exploits the difference between mammal cells and other kinds of cells in their folic acid metabolism. All cells require folic acid for growth. Folic acid (as a vitamin) diffuses or is transported into human cells. However, folic acid cannot cross bacterial (and certain protozoan) cell walls by diffusion or active transport. For this reason bacteria must synthesize folic acid from p-aminobenzoic acid. Structure
