Pyrimethamine HCL Micronised
Whatsapp Order
Pyrimethamine HCL Micronised is a finely ground form of pyrimethamine hydrochloride, an antimalarial and antiparasitic drug. The micronised form enhances bioavailability by improving dissolution rate and absorption. It acts by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, interfering with folic acid metabolism in protozoa and some bacteria, thus effectively treating malaria and toxoplasmosis. This pharmaceutical-grade compound is used primarily in combination therapies for parasitic infections.
Description
Pyrimethamine HCL Micronised
Primary Uses
- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in antimalarial medications, often combined with sulfadoxine (e.g., Fansidar) for treating Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
- Employed in the treatment of toxoplasmosis, especially in immunocompromised patients.
- Utilized in combination therapy for other parasitic infections sensitive to folate pathway inhibition.
Secondary Uses
- Veterinary Medicine
- Used in veterinary antiparasitic formulations for protozoal infections in animals.
- Research & Development
- Utilized in pharmaceutical research for new antimalarial drug development and formulation studies.
- Used as a reference standard in analytical and pharmacokinetic studies.
