Sulfamethoxazole is indicated in combination with trimethoprim, in various formulations, for the following infections caused by bacteria with documented susceptibility: urinary tract infections, acute otitis media in pediatric patients (when clinically indicated), acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis in adults, enteritis caused by susceptible _Shigella_, prophylaxis and treatment of _Pneumocystis jiroveci_ pneumonia, and travelers' diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic _E. coli_. In Canada, additional indications include the adjunctive treatment of cholera, treatment of bacillary dysentery, nocardiosis, and second-line treatment of brucellosis in combination with [gentamicin] or [rifampicin].
Sulfamethoxazole is a bacteriostatic sulfonamide antibiotic that inhibits a critical step in bacterial folate synthesis. It is generally given in combination with [trimethoprim], a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, which inhibits the reduction of dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid. Studies have shown that bacterial resistance develops more slowly with the combination of the two drugs than with either trimethoprim or sulfamethoxazole alone, as together they inhibit sequential steps in the bacterial folate synthesis pathway. Sulfonamides, including sulfamethoxazole, have been implicated in hypersensitivity reactions - these agents should be discontinued at the first sign of a developing rash, as this may signal the start of a more severe reaction such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. Sulfamethoxazole treatment may contribute to folate deficiency and should therefore be used with caution in patients at a higher risk of developing a deficiency. Hemolysis has been observed in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency who are using sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim.

Absorption
Sulfamethoxazole is rapidly absorbed following oral administration and has a bioavailability of 85-90%. The Tmax is approximately 1-4 hours following oral administration, and the Cmax at steady-state is 57.4 - 68.0 g/mL.
Route of Elimination
Elimination occurs primarily via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion in the kidneys, with urine concentrations generally considerably higher than plasma concentrations. Approximately 84.5% of a single oral dose of sulfamethoxazole is recovered in the urine within 72 hours, of which ~30% is free sulfamethoxazole and the remainder is the N4-acetylated metabolite.
Volume of Distribution
The volume of distribution sulfamethoxazole following a single oral dose was found to be 13 L. Sulfamethoxazole distributes into sputum, vaginal fluid, middle ear fluid, breast milk, and the placenta.
Clearance
The oral and renal clearance of sulfamethoxazole have been estimated as 1.2 0.2 and 0.22 0.05 L/h, respectively.
In urine, approximately 20% of the sulfamethoxazole present is unchanged drug, 50-70% is the acetylated derivative, and 15-20% is the glucuronide conjugate.

Sulfamethoxazole is widely distributed into most body tissues. Sulfamethoxazole crosses the placenta. In general, the total serum protein binding of sulfamethoxazole is considered to be 50-70%; the acetylated metabolite of sulfamethoxazole is protein bound to a somewhat greater extent than is the unmetabolized drug. In uremic patients, serum protein binding of sulfamethoxazole is reduced. Sulfamethoxazole has an apparent volume of 10-16 liters. In uremic patients, the apparent volume of distribution of sulfamethoxazole increases substantially; this increase is partly caused by reduced binding of the drug to serum proteins.

Individual sulfonamides differ markedly in their absorption, distribution, and elimination. With the exception of sulfapyrimidine and sulfasalazine, which are only slightly absorbed, sulfonamides are generally well absorbed from the GI tract. Approximately 70-90% of an oral dose of the absorbable sulfonamides is reportedly absorbed from the small intestine; small amounts may also be absorbed from the stomach. Sulfamethizole and sulfisoxazole (no longer commercially available in the US) are absorbed rapidly; peak blood concentrations are usually obtained within 2-4 hours. Sulfadiazine and sulfapyridine are absorbed at a slower rate with peak blood concentrations occurring within 3-7 hours. Administration of oral sulfonamides with food appears to delay, but not reduce, absorption of the drugs. /Sulfonamides/

Absorption of sulfonamides from the vagina, respiratory tract, or abraded skin is variable and unreliable; however, enough drug may be absorbed to induce sensitization or toxicity. /Sulfonamides/

Sulfamethoxazole metabolism is mediated primarily by arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) enzymes, which are responsible for acetylation of sulfamethoxazole at its N4 position. Sulfamethoxazole may also undergo oxidation at its C5 and N4 atoms, the latter of which is catalyzed by CYP2C9. Glucuronidation of the N4 atom, likely mediated by unspecified UGT enzymes, is an additional minor route of metabolism. None of the identified metabolites of sulfamethoxazole appear to carry antimicrobial activity. The hydroxylamine metabolite of sulfamethoxazole, generated via oxidation by CYP2C9, may be further converted to a more reactive nitroso- metabolite.
Although the liver is the major site of metabolism, sulfonamides may also be metabolized in other body tissues. Most sulfonamides are metabolized mainly by N4-acetylation. The degree of acetylation, which is a function of time, varies from less than 5% for sulfamethizole to up to 40% for sulfadiazine. The N4-acetyl metabolites, which do not possess antibacterial activity, have greater affinity for plasma albumin than does the nonacetylated drug and are usually less soluble than the parent sulfonamide, particularly in acidic urine. Like acetyl derivatives, glucuronide derivatives do not possess antibacterial activity; however, glucuronide derivatives are water soluble, appear to resemble the nonacetylated sulfonamide in plasma binding capacity, and have not been associated with adverse effects. /Sulfonamides/

The in vitro biotransformation of three sulfonamides ... was studied using primary cultures of pig hepatocytes. Incubation of monolayer cultures with sulfadimethoxine (SDM), sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) and 14C-sulfadimidine (SDD) resulted in the formation of the corresponding N4-acetylsulfonamide to different extents, depending upon the molecular structure of the drug. Addition of the acetylsulfonamides to the cells showed that these compounds were deacetylated, each to a different extent. A relatively low degree of acetylation (in case of 14C-sulfadimidine) was paralleled by extensive deacetylation (i.e. AcSDD), whereas extensive acetylation (i.e.sulfamethoxazole) was in concert with minor deacetylation (i.e.AcSMX). The addition of bovine serum albumin to the medium resulted in a decrease in conversion of sulfonamides as well as acetylsulfonamides. ...

The acetylation pattern of sulfamethoxazole was examined in six male and 16 female healthy volunteers selected according to their acetylation phenotype by analysis of the acetylation pattern of sulfadimidine. They were given a single oral dose of 10 mg/kg bw sulfamethoxazole, and blood (at 6 hr) and urine (0-6 hr) were analysed for the presence of total and free sulfamethoxazole (total minus free was considered to be the acetylated form). Sulfamethoxazole did not appear to undergo polymorphic acetylation.

Acetylation of sulfamethoxazole by human hepatic monomorphic (NAT1) and polymorphic (NAT2) arylamine N-acetyltransferase showed a higher affinity for the monomorphic enzyme (Kmax, 1.2 mmol/L and approximately 5 mmol/L for NAT1 and NAT2, respectively). The higher affinity for NAT1 indicated that acetylation by this enzyme predominates at therapeutic plasma concentrations, in agreement with the observed monomorphic acetylation of sulfamethoxazole in vivo. There were no differences in affinity between human recombinant NAT1 and NAT2 enzymes in converting sulfamethoxazole hydroxylamine to the reactive N-acetoxysulfamethoxazole.

The average serum half-life of sulfamethoxazole is 10 hours and may be increased in patients with severely impaired renal function.
Half life of sulfamethoxazole in babies during first 10 days of life is considerably longer than in adults. It falls rapidly, being about 9 hr at 3 wk of age and 4-5 hr at 1 yr. It then increases toward half life characteristic for adults, namely, 10-11 hr.

In individuals with normal renal function, the elimination half-life of sulfamethoxazole is 7-12 hours. The elimination half-life of sulfamethoxazole begins to increase appreciably when the creatinine clearance rate decreases to about 30 mL/minute, and in patients with creatinine clearances of less than 10 mL/minute, a half-life of 22-50 hours has been reported.

Sulfonamides are generally classified as short-acting, intermediate-acting, or long-acting depending on the rate at which they are absorbed and eliminated. Sulfamethizole, sulfasalazine, and sulfisoxazole are generally considered to be short-acting sulfonamides and reportedly have plasma half-lives of about 4-8 hours. Sulfadiazine and sulfapyridine are generally considered to be intermediate-acting sulfonamides and reportedly have plasma half-lives of about 7-17 hours. /Sulfonamides/

The disposition kinetics of a single oral dose of sulfamethoxazole administered as a 960 mg dose of a combination product with trimethoprim (co-trimoxazole) were studied in 6 healthy male volunteers (aged 23 to 29 yr) and in 15 untreated pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The elimination half-life in healthy volunteers ranged from 8.67 to 13.7 hr and in patients, 6.5 to 13.5 hr. No significant difference in the elimination half-lives were found in healthy male volunteers and untreated patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Sulfamethoxazole is a sulfonamide that inhibits bacterial dihydrofolic acid synthesis due to its structural similarity to an endogenous substrate, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). Most bacteria meet their need for folic acid by synthesizing it from PABA, as opposed to Animalia that require exogenous folic acid sources. Sulfamethoxazole competitively inhibits dihydropteroate synthase, the enzyme responsible for bacterial conversion of PABA to dihydrofolic acid. Inhibition of this pathway prevents the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate and, ultimately, the synthesis of bacterial purines and DNA, resulting in a bacteriostatic effect.
Sulfonamides are usually bacteriostatic in action. Sulfonamides interfere with the utilization of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrofolic acid (the reduced form of folic acid) cofactors in susceptible bacteria. Sulfonamides are structural analogs of PABA and appear to interfere with PABA utilization by competitively inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteroate synthase, which catalyzes the formation of dihydropteroic acid (a precursor of tetrahydrofolic acid) from PABA and pteridine; however, other mechanism(s) affecting the biosynthetic pathway also may be involved. Compounds such as pyrimethamine and trimethoprim, which block later stages in the synthesis of folic acid, act synergistically with sulfonamides. Only microorganisms that synthesize their own folic acid are inhibited by sulfonamides; animal cells and bacteria which are capable of utilizing folic acid precursors or preformed folic acid are not affected by these drugs. The antibacterial activity of the sulfonamides is reportedly decreased in the presence of blood or purulent body exudates. /Sulfonamides/

/Sulfonamides inhibit bacterial growth by preventing para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) from being incorporated/ into dihydropteroic acid, the immediate precursor of folic acid. Sensitive microorganisms are those that must synthesize their own folic acid; bacteria that can utilize preformed folate are not affected. Bacteriostasis induced by sulfonamides is counteracted by PABA competitively. Sulfonamides do not affect mammalian cells by this mechanism, since they require preformed folic acid and cannot synthesize it. /Sulfonamides/

Sulfonamides are broad-spectrum, bacteriostatic anti-infectives. They are structural analogs of para-aminobenzoic acid and competively inhibit a bacterial enzyme, dihydropteroate synthetase, that is responsible for incorporation of para-aminobenzoic acid into dihydrofolic acid. This blocks the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid and decreases the amount of metabolically active tetrahydrofolic acid, a cofactor for the synthesis of purines, thymidine, and DNA. /Sulfonamides/

The hydroxylamine and nitroso metabolites formed by N4-oxidation of sulfonamides are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of idiosyncratic reactions to this class of drugs. Idiosyncratic reactions to sulfonamides are characterized by multisystemic toxicity, including hepatitis, nephritis, dermatitis, and blood dyscrasias (aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis). Previously it has been shown that cytochrome p-450 in the liver metabolizes sulfamethoxazole to its hydroxylamine metabolite. In this paper the N4-oxidation of sulfamethoxazole by activated monocytes and neutrophils (human and canine) to form sulfamethoxazole hydroxylamine and nitrosulfamethoxazole is reported. The presumed nitroso intermediate was not detected. Purified myeloperoxidase and prostaglandin H synthase were also capable of mediating the oxidation of sulfamethoxazole. The present studies suggest that myeloperoxidase is responsible for the observed oxidation by phagocytic cells. Oxidation by neutrophils may play a role in agranulocytosis, and oxidation by monocytes may facilitate antigen presentation. Extrahepatic bioactivation of sulfonamides by peroxidases in phagocytic cells and other tissues may be important in determining the range of adverse reactions to sulfonamides that occur.

Hypersensitivity syndromes are severe drug induced side effects with skin rashes, fever and/or multiorgan-system abnormalities which are not pharmacologically related. ... These reactions are considered to be immune-mediated but the precise mechanisms are not completely understood. Clinical features, which resemble and EBV infection, and some immunological studies suggest that T-cell mediated immunity is involved in the pathogenesis of this rare disease. In the literature, allopurinol and anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndromes are clinically well characterized entities, while the definition of hypersensitivity syndrome elicited by other drugs is rather confusing. ... Two patients, one with sulfamethoxazole- and one with allopurinol-induced hypersensitivity syndrome /are presented/. In both cases a lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) was performed and /investigators/ analyzed the T-cell activation parameters CD25 and HLA-DR on CD4- and CD8- T-cells to demonstrate in vivo activation of T-cells during the active disease. Both patients show increased activation of T-cells with elevated levels of HLA-DR on CD8+ cells. The T-cell activation correlated with the clinical course. /The/ data supports an immunological pathogenesis for hypersensitivity syndromes and the concept that drug specific T-cells are involved in hypersensitivity syndromes.
