OEL Fastrac Catalog

Dapsone is a medication used in combination with rifampicin and clofazimine as multidrug therapy for the treatment of leprosy. It is also used as second-line treatment for prophylaxis against Pneumocystis pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii in HIV patients. Dapsone is a competitive antagonist of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and thus, inhibits normal bacterial utilization of PABA for folic acid synthesis. Dapsone is a sulfone active bactericidal and bacteriostatic agent against Mycobacterium leprae. Its mechanism of action is likely similar to that of the sulfonamides, which involves inhibition of folic acid synthesis in susceptible organisms.
