Sulfaphenazole
Sulfaphenazole is a sulfonamide antibacterial and potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), used primarily as a research tool to characterize CYP2C9-mediated drug metabolism, and historically as an antibacterial agent for urinary tract infections. Its CYP2C9 inhibition causes clinically significant interactions with drugs metabolized by this enzyme including warfarin, tolbutamide, and phenytoin. The antibacterial mechanism involves inhibition of dihydropteroate synthase.
