Comment: Trimethoprim is a synthetic diaminopyrimidine molecule with antibacterial and antiprotozoal activities. Mechanistically, it inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase and disrupts the conversion of dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid which ultimately inhibits bacterial DNA synthesis. Sulfonamide drugs potentiate trimethoprim's activity.
