Sulfapyridine is a competitive inhibitor of the bacterial enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase. It was used to treat of infections in humans in particular, dermatitis herpetiformis (Duhring's disease), a skin problem, but that usage was discontinued by manufacturer. It is also known, that sulfapyridine is one of the two primary metabolite of the anti-inflammatory drug salicylazosulfapyridine.

Sample Use Guides

For dermatitis herpetiformis: adults and adolescents: 250 milligrams to 1 gram four times a day until improvement occurs. After improvement has occurred, the dose should then be reduced by 250 to 500 milligrams every three days until there are no symptoms; that dose should be taken once daily. Children: use is not recommended, because children usually do not get this condition.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Sulfapyridine (SP) and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) are the two primary metabolites of the anti-inflammatory drug salicylazosulfapyridine (SASP). These two metabolites were studied for induction of chromosomal damage in mammalian cells, in vitro and in vivo, in an attempt to understand better the genetic effects produced by SASP in humans and laboratory mice. To this end, SP and 5-ASA were tested for induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosomal aberrations (Abs) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in vitro. SP gave positive results in the in vitro SCE test and negative results in the in vitro Abs test.
