Aminosalicylate Sodium is the sodium salt form of aminosalicylic acid, an analog of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) with antitubercular activity. Aminosalicylate sodium exerts its bacteriostatic activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis by competing with PABA for enzymes involved in folate synthesis, thereby suppressing growth and reproduction of M. tuberculosis, eventually leading to cell death. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Aminosalicylates. Its therapeutic use is listed as antituberculars. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Bactylan, Sanipirol, Tubersan and Lepasen. Its PubChem CID is 2724368.
