Diaphenylsulfone – Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions

Diaphenylsulfone/Dapsone is a synthetic derivative of diamino-sulfone with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. As a structural analog of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), dapsone inhibits dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS), an enzyme important in folate synthesis, resulting in a depletion of the folate pool and a reduction in the amount of thymidylate available for Read More …
