Description

Epiroprim is a synthetic antibacterial agent that combines the structural features of the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor trimethoprim with those of the dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) inhibitor pyrimethamine. This unique structure allows epiroprim to exhibit dual inhibitory activity against both DHFR and DHPS, critical enzymes in the folate biosynthesis pathway essential for bacterial growth. Epiroprim's dual-targeting mechanism has shown promising preclinical efficacy against various bacterial infections, including those caused by multidrug-resistant strains. The compound's potential to overcome antibiotic resistance, a growing global health concern, is a key area of research interest. Studies are ongoing to assess epiroprim's safety, pharmacokinetic profile, and clinical efficacy in human trials.'
