Dapsone

Abstract: Dapsone and other sulfonamides have been used successfully in the treatment of patients with a variety of blistering skin diseases. The patients most likely to respond to dapsone therapy have a predominantly neutrophilic infiltrate in their skin. Therefore the blistering diseases with the most consistent responses to dapsone therapy include dermatitis herpetiformis and linear IgA disease. Dapsone's precise mechanism of action is unknown. In vitro studies have shown that dapsone can interfere with the productio… Show more

“…1 A unique property of dapsone is that it has dual therapeutic activity and demonstrates antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Since 1943, it has been the drug of choice in the treatment of leprosy because it has bacteriostatic action against Mycobacterium leprae by inhibiting folic acid production via competition with p-aminobenzoate for the active site of dihydropteroate synthase.…”

“…10,15 Embora o mecanismo de ação não esteja completamente elucidado, sabe-se que nos casos efetivamente tratados pela dapsona, o infiltrado neutrofílico desaparece. 15 Esse efeito ocorreria pela capacidade da dapsona de afetar a quimiotaxia de neutrófilos, pela inibição da produção de estímulos quimiotáticos ou do bloqueio da resposta neutrofílica aos sinais quimiotáticos.…”
