Abstract
Sulfadiazine and the metabolites N4-acetyl-sulfadiazine, 4-OH-sulfadiazine, 5-OH-sulfadiazine, 5-OH-glucuronide-sulfadiazine, and 5-OH-sulfate-sulfadiazine were tested separately and in combination with pyrimethamine for the inhibitory activity on Toxoplasma gondii growth in vitro. Except for N4-acetyl-sulfadiazine, all sulfa compounds possessed anti-Toxoplasma activity. The addition of 0.05 micrograms of pyrimethamine per ml, a concentration which in itself is not inhibitory, potentiated the microbial activity of sulfadiazine and its metabolites 100 fold.Entities:
