E4837 Trimethoprim (lactate) Trimethoprim (lactate) is an antifolate antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), an essential enzyme responsible for the production of tetrahydrofolic acid (THF). By blocking this enzyme, it prevents the synthesis of bacterial DNA, hindering bacterial survival. This compound is a standard antibiotic for treating urinary tract infections (UTIs).
S3082 Proguanil HCl(Atovaquone) Proguanil hydrochloride (Chloroguanil, Chlorguanide hydrochloride), also known as Atovaquone, is an antimalarial proagent that acts as an inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). It functions as a biguanide to enhance the effect of Atovaquone.
