Description

Glucosulfone (Glucosulfone Free Acid, or Promin) is a compound used to treat mycobacterial infections, such as tuberculosis and leprosy. It is converted to dapsone in the body, which also has been shown to have therapeutic effects against dermatitis herpetiformis, actinomycotic mycetoma, asthma, malaria, rheumatoid arthritis, Kaposiís sarcoma, pneumocystis carinii (pneumonia), subcorneal pustular dermatosis and cystic acne. Once converted to dapsone, it has haemotoxic effects (destroying red blood cells, or disrupting blood clotting, potentially causing organ or tissue damage).
