Mechanism of Action of Dapsone Top.
Dapsone is chemically related to sulfonamides & has same mechanism of action as that of sulfonamide. It exerts it`s bacteriostatic action by acting as an antimetabolite by inhibiting bacterial folic acid synthesis. Para amino benzoic acid (PABA) is a constituent of bacterial folic acid. Dapsone acts as a structural analogue of PABA & thus inhibits enzyme bacterial folate synthetase. It competitively inhibits the union of PABA with pteridine residue to form dihydropteroic acid which conjugates with glutamic acid to produce dihydrofolic acid. Topical dapsone preparations are used on the skin to help control acne. They may be used alone or with one or more other medicines that are applied to the skin or taken by mouth for acne.
