4-Aminosalicylic Acid（Cat No.:R046898）is an anti-tuberculosis agent commonly used as a second-line treatment for multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It works by inhibiting folate synthesis in bacteria, impairing their ability to replicate and survive. Often administered alongside other TB drugs, 4-Aminosalicylic Acid enhances the efficacy of therapy and helps prevent resistance. It is also studied for its anti-inflammatory effects, which have shown promise in gastrointestinal conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Widely researched in infectious disease and inflammatory pathways, it remains significant in both clinical use and drug development research.
