It is an important intermediate in folate synthesis. Bacteriostatic agents, such as sulfonamides, target dihydropteroate synthetase. The effect of dihydropteroate synthetase inhibition is comparable to that of dihydrofolate reductase inhibition by trimethoprim, another bacteriostatic agent. Together these two drugs - trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole () - are commonly used to treat recurrent urinary tract, Shigella, Salmonella, and Pneumocystis jivoreci infections. ==See also== * Dihydrofolic acid 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「dihydropteroate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
