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

体外研究(In Vitro)
Trimethoprim interrupts folate metabolism by inhibition of the activity of dihydrofolase reductase (DHFR), which reduces dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate (THF).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.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. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
体内研究(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.
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.
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. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
