Metabolite Identification
Common NameSulfamoxole
DescriptionSulfamoxole, also known as oxasulfa or sulphamoxolum, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aminobenzenesulfonamides. These are organic compounds containing a benzenesulfonamide moiety with an amine group attached to the benzene ring. However, parenteral administration is difficult, since the soluble sulfonamide salts are highly alkaline and irritating to the tissues. Sulfamoxole is a drug which is used for the treatment of bacterial infection. Sulfamoxole is a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa). Sulfamoxole is a competitive inhibitor of the bacterial enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase. This enzyme is needed for the proper processing of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) which is essential for folic acid synthesis. The inhibited reaction is necessary in these organisms for the synthesis of folic acid. However, many strains of an individual species may be resistant.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in monooxygenase activity
Specific function:
Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It oxidizes a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. This enzyme contributes to the wide pharmacokinetics variability of the metabolism of drugs such as S-warfarin, diclofenac, phenytoin, tolbutamide and losartan.
Gene Name:
