Summary

Trimethoprim is a bacteriostatic antibiotic and an orally active dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor. Trimethoprim is active against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic bacteria . Trimethoprim has the potential for the research of urinary tract infections, Shigellosis and Pneumocystis pneumonia. Trimethoprim can inhibit infection of Influenza A virus in chick embryo when combinated with zinc [1] [2] [3] [4] .


IC50 & Target

Dihydrofolate reductase, Bacteria [1]
Influenza A virus [4]


In Vitro

Trimethoprim interrupts folate metabolism by inhibition of the activity of dihydrofolase reductase (DHFR), which reduces dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate (THF) [1] .
Trimethoprim (3 μg/mL; 1 h) induces protein aggregation and main heat shock proteins (Hsps) in E. coli cells, which indicates that Trimethoprim sulfate presence leads to protein misfolding [1] .
Trimethoprim (1.5-3 μg/mL; 1 h) causes induction of DnaK, DnaJ, GroEL, ClpB, and IbpA/B Hsps in E. coli cells exposed to folate and heat stress [1] .

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.


In Vivo

Trimethoprim (10 mg/kg; i.v.; once every 12 h; 3 d) shows antibacterial activity against H. influenzae , S. pneumoniae , E. coli and N. meningitidis in infected mice [2] .
Trimethoprim can be connected with the thiomaltose (TM-TMP) and shows stability with a half-life of about 1 hour in complete serum, and has an MIC value around 1 μM against E. coli [2] .
Trimethoprim (10 mg/mL; 0.5 mL; inject with Trimethoprim-Zn combined suspension) decreases the virus titer and increases the survival rate of chicken embryo [4] .

Animal Model: Female C3H/HeOuJ mice (transurethrally infected with a 50 μL suspension containing 1-2×10 7 CFU of E. coli under 3% isoflurane) [2]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: i.v.; once every 12 h; for 3 d
Result: Showed antibacterial activity against H. influenzae , S. pneumoniae , E. coli and N. meningitidis with CD 50 s of 150 mg/kg, 335 mg/kg, 27.5 mg/kg and 8.4 mg/kg, respectively in infected mice.
Animal Model: Fertilized eggs (injected H3N2 virus into amniotic and allantoic space at day 8) [4]
Dosage: 10 mg/mL; 0.5 mL
Administration: The Trimethoprim-Zn combined suspension was injected into the air sac; single dosage
Result: Decreased the virus titer and increased the survival rate of chicken embryo.
The survival rate peaked at ratio about 0.18 (Zn/Trimethoprim).
