Acetyl sulfisoxazole

Sulfisoxazole acetyl competes with PABA for the bacterial enzyme, _dihydropteroate synthase_, preventing the incorporation of PABA into dihydrofolic acid, which is the precursor of folic acid. … This process causes an inhibition of bacterial folic acid synthesis and de novo synthesis of purines and pyrimidines, resulting in cell growth arrest and cell death [L2788].

Sulfamethoxazole

Sulfamethoxazole is a bacteriostatic sulfonamide antibiotic that interferes with folic acid synthesis in susceptible bacteria. … [L11830] It is generally given in combination with [trimethoprim], which inhibits a sequential step in bacterial folic acid synthesis - these agents work synergistically to block two consecutive steps

Octasulfur

Magnesium carbonate

Magnesium carbonate, also known as magnesite, is a common over the counter remedy for heartburn and upset stomach caused by overproduction of acid in the stomach [FDA Label].

Cyanocobalamin

Cyanocobalamin (commonly known as Vitamin B12) is a highly complex, essential vitamin, owing its name to the fact that it contains the mineral, cobalt. This vitamin is produced naturally by bacteria , and is necessary for DNA synthesis a...

Sulfacytine

The inhibited reaction is necessary in these organisms for the synthesis of folic acid. … Sulfonamides inhibit multiplication of bacteria by acting as competitive inhibitors of p-aminobenzoic acid in the folic acid metabolism cycle.
