Usage

General Description

2-Amino-2,2-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide is a synthetic compound that belongs to the class of acetamides. It is also known as Dapson and is commonly used as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent. This chemical is primarily used in the treatment of leprosy and dermatitis herpetiformis. It works by inhibiting bacterial dihydrofolic acid synthesis and possesses anti-inflammatory properties by suppressing the immune response. Additionally, it is used in combination with other medications to treat pneumonia, malaria, and other bacterial infections. However, it may cause certain side effects such as skin rash, methemoglobinemia, and hemolytic anemia, and must be used under medical supervision.
