Azyoxydapsone is an antibiotic primarily used for the treatment of leprosy and dermatitis herpetiformis, a skin condition associated with celiac disease. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of folic acid in bacteria, thus preventing bacterial growth and replication. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of enzymes involved in the folic acid pathway, which is crucial for DNA synthesis and cell division in microorganisms. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, azoxydapsones also exhibits immunomodulatory effects, making it beneficial in managing inflammatory skin conditions.
