ICLAPRIM

discontinued Small molecule

ICLAPRIM works by inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which is essential for bacterial DNA synthesis.

ICLAPRIM is a small molecule drug that targets dihydrofolate reductase, an enzyme involved in DNA synthesis. It is classified as an iclaprim and has been developed to treat bacterial infections. However, its commercial status and approved indications are unknown. As a result, its half-life, bioavailability, and generic manufacturers are also not available. Further research is needed to determine its current status and potential applications.
