  2. Intensive insulin therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_insulin_therapy

    This evidence convinced most physicians who specialize in diabetes care that an important goal of treatment is to make the biochemical profile of the diabetic patient (blood lipids, HbA1c, etc.) as close to the values of non-diabetic people as possible. This is especially true for young patients with many decades of life ahead.

  3. Antimicrobial resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_resistance

    Alteration of metabolic pathway: for example, some sulfonamide-resistant bacteria do not require para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), an important precursor for the synthesis of folic acid and nucleic acids in bacteria inhibited by sulfonamides, instead, like mammalian cells, they turn to using preformed folic acid.

  4. Sulfanilamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfanilamide

    Mammals do not synthesize their own folic acid so are unaffected by PABA inhibitors, which selectively kill bacteria. [11] However, this effect can be reversed by adding the end products of one-carbon transfer reactions, such as thymidine, purines, methionine, and serine. PABA can also reverse the effects of sulfonamides. [5] [12] [11]

  7. Dihydropteroate synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydropteroate_synthase

    It produces dihydropteroate in bacteria, but it is not expressed in most eukaryotes including humans. This makes it a useful target for sulfonamide antibiotics, which compete with the PABA precursor. (2-amino-4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydropteridin-6-yl)methyl diphosphate + 4-aminobenzoate (PABA) diphosphate + dihydropteroate.

    Structural similarity between sulfanilamide (left) and PABA (center) is the basis for the inhibitory activity of sulfa drugs on tetrahydrofolate (right) biosynthesis. Sulfonamides are used to treat allergies and coughs, as well as having antifungal and antimalarial functions.

  9. Acedoben - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acedoben

    Acedoben (4-acetamidobenzoic acid or N-acetyl-PABA) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula of C 9 H 9 NO 3. It is the acetyl derivative of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). Acedoben, as a salt with dimepranol, is a component of some pharmaceutical preparations such as inosine pranobex.
