Sulfoxone
Sulfoxone is a dapsone-related sulfone antibiotic used for the treatment of leprosy (Hansen's disease) in some formulations, acting through inhibition of bacterial dihydropteroate synthase similar to sulfonamides but with additional mechanisms involving disruption of folate cycle. As a sulfone antimycobacterial, it has been used as an alternative to dapsone in patients with dapsone intolerance. It is less widely used than dapsone for leprosy in current practice.
