Trimethoprim sulfate is a pyrimidine inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase, it is an antibacterial related to PYRIMETHAMINE. The interference with folic acid metabolism may cause a depression of hematopoiesis. It is potentiated by SULFONAMIDES and the TRIMETHOPRIM-SULFAMETHOXAZOLE COMBINATION is the form most often used. It is sometimes used alone as an antimalarial. TRIMETHOPRIM RESISTANCE has been reported.

Trimethoprim hydrochloride, a bacteriostatic antibiotic and dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, demonstrates efficacy against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic bacteria. It has research applications for urinary tract infections, Shigellosis, and Pneumocystis pneumonia. Additionally, when combined with zinc, it can inhibit the infection of Influenza A virus in chick embryos [1] [2] [3] [4].
