| Targets |
Sulfameter targets bacterial dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS). It is designed to competitively inhibit this enzyme, thereby interfering with the bacterial folate synthesis pathway. By blocking DHPS, Sulfameter prevents the production of dihydrofolic acid, a precursor essential for bacterial nucleic acid synthesis and growth. This inhibition is bacteriostatic rather than bactericidal, meaning it stops bacterial proliferation but does not directly kill the bacteria. Its primary target is the bacterial folate synthesis pathway, which is a well-established mechanism for sulfonamide antibiotics.

| ln Vitro |
Sulfameter(Bayrena) is a long-acting sulfonamide antibacterial. It is used as a leprostatic agent in the treatment of urinary tract infections. Six physically healthy patients each were given 2 g of sulfameter simultaneously with a high lipid, high protein and high carbohydrate test meal. This experiment was designed as a threefold crossover study, and there was a randomized assignment of patients to the different conditions. The results show that sulfameter is significantly better absorbed when administered with a high lipid meal than when given with a high protein or high carbohydrate meal, demonstrated by the areas under the serum concentration curves (AUC), by the peak serum concentration and by the cumulative renal excretion.
Sulfameter demonstrates a range of bioactivities in vitro with notable potencies across various assays. It is a potent inducer of genomic imprint erasure (3162.3 nM) and DNA re-replication in MCF 10a breast cells (20.6 nM). It exhibits inhibitory effects against AmpC Beta-Lactamase (354.8 nM), Hepatitis C Virus (35481.3 nM), Plasmodium falciparum proliferation (0.9 nM), and Ebola virus entry (AC50 of 8912.5 nM). It also impacts sodium fluorescein uptake in OATP1B3 (112.86%) and OATP1B1 (233.46%) transfected CHO cells at 10 µM. Against SARS-CoV-2, it shows limited efficacy, inhibiting the 3CL-Pro protease by 24.24% at 20 µM. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Sulfameter has been studied in human subjects for its pharmacokinetic properties. Six physically healthy patients each were given 2 g of Sulfameter simultaneously with a high lipid, high protein, and high carbohydrate test meal to assess its absorption and distribution. As a long-acting sulfonamide, it is designed for sustained antibacterial activity in the body. It is used in research models for urinary tract infections and leprosy, indicating its in vivo efficacy against these conditions. Its long-acting nature allows for less frequent dosing compared to shorter-acting sulfonamides.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular enzyme/receptor binding assays for Sulfameter typically involve measuring its inhibitory activity against dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS). These assays use purified DHPS enzyme and a radiolabeled or spectrophotometric substrate to quantify the rate of enzymatic reaction in the presence of varying concentrations of Sulfameter. The compound's ability to competitively inhibit DHPS is assessed by determining the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) or inhibition constant (Ki). Such assays are essential for confirming the compound's mechanism of action as a sulfonamide antibiotic and for characterizing its potency against the target enzyme.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Sulfameter are conducted using bacterial cultures to assess its antibacterial activity. Standard antimicrobial susceptibility testing, such as broth microdilution or agar dilution methods, is performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against various bacterial strains. These assays involve culturing bacteria in the presence of increasing concentrations of Sulfameter and measuring the optical density to determine the lowest concentration that inhibits visible bacterial growth. Additionally, cell-based assays can be performed using mammalian cell lines to evaluate the compound's cytotoxicity and effects on host cells.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Sulfameter are typically conducted in animal models of bacterial infection to evaluate its efficacy and pharmacokinetics. Rodent models of urinary tract infections or other susceptible bacterial infections are commonly used. Animals are administered Sulfameter orally or parenterally at various doses, and the infection progression is monitored by measuring bacterial load in tissues or blood. Blood samples are collected at different time points to determine the pharmacokinetic profile, including absorption, distribution, and elimination of the compound. These studies are crucial for validating the compound's in vivo efficacy and for establishing appropriate dosing regimens.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Sulfameter is administered orally and has been studied in human pharmacokinetic trials. Six healthy patients each received 2 g of Sulfameter simultaneously with meals to assess its absorption. It exhibits a log P value of 0.46, indicating moderate lipophilicity, which influences its absorption and distribution. The compound demonstrates moderate liver toxicity with choleostatic liver toxicity and a low percentage of acute liver toxicity noted in clinical trials, but without significant cytolytic, chronic, or severe liver toxicity indications. Its long-acting nature is attributed to its slow elimination from the body.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Sulfameter shows moderate liver toxicity with choleostatic liver toxicity and a low percentage of acute liver toxicity noted in clinical trials. However, it does not exhibit significant cytolytic, chronic, or severe liver toxicity indications. The compound is considered safe for use as an antibacterial agent but should be used with caution in patients with pre-existing liver conditions. As with other sulfonamides, potential side effects include allergic reactions, gastrointestinal disturbances, and hematological effects. Its safety profile has been established through clinical use and research studies.
