Mechanism of action p-aminosalicylic acid is thought to act as an antimetabolite interfering with the incorporation of p-aminobenzoic acid into folic acid. When coadministered with INH, PAS is found to reduce the acetylation of INH, itself being the substrate for acetylation, thus increasing the ...
Pharmaceutical Industry: 4-Aminosalicylic acid is primarily used in the treatment of tuberculosis. It acts as an antimicrobial agent, specifically targeting the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. The mechanism of action involves inhibiting the synthesis of mycolic acids, which are essential components of...

Mechanism of action of 5-aminosalicylic acid and its derivatives. The mechanism of action of 5-ASA and its derivatives remains obscure. The most likely mechanisms would appear to be an interrelationship between local production of eicosanoids and reactive oxygen metabolites, in conjunction with activa...
Research on the mechanism of its action may give information on the etiology of ulcerative colitis. 5-ASA is a first-line treatment that should be given once daily in high doses and for long term to reduce the possibility of recurrence and risk of colonic cancer. Side effects with 5-ASA ...
The present study reveals for the first time an inhibitory effect of the flavonoids epicatechin, catechin hydrate, and rutin trihydrate as well as of the pharmacological drug 5-aminosalicylic acid on the ROS dependent NET formation. The same inhibitory effect on ROS and NET formation was observed ...
aminosalicylic acid (a-mee-noe-sal-i-si-lik as-id) ▪ Brand Name(s): Paser Chemical Class: Salicylate derivative ▪ Clinical Pharmacology: Mechanism of Action: An antitubercular agent active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thought to exhibit competitive antagonism of folic acid synthesis. Th...
Antagonism of the Oxidative Dissimilation of p-Aminobenzoic Acid by p-Aminosalicylic Acid p-AMINOBENZOIO acid is essential as a growth factor in various organisms, and this observation has stimulated extensive investigations involving antag- onists of this metabolite and possible modes of action. ...
