Sulfamethoxazole sodium(CAT: I017192) is a water-soluble sulfonamide antibiotic salt commonly used in microbiology and biomedical research. It acts by inhibiting dihydropteroate synthase, an enzyme essential for bacterial folate synthesis, thereby blocking DNA, RNA, and protein production in susceptible microorganisms. The sodium form improves solubility and ease of preparation for in vitro assays and experimental formulations. Sulfamethoxazole sodium is frequently employed in studies of bacterial resistance, antimicrobial drug development, and synergistic activity with trimethoprim. Its broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria makes it a reliable research compound for probing microbial metabolism, therapeutic mechanisms, and pharmacological interactions.
