Overview of Pyrimethamine

Pyrimethamine is a pharmaceutical active ingredient primarily used as an antiprotozoal and antiparasitic agent. It works by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase in protozoa, thereby preventing DNA synthesis and cell replication. Pyrimethamine is widely used in the treatment and prevention of diseases such as toxoplasmosis and malaria, often in combination with other therapeutic agents.

Pyrimethamine appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with good chemical stability. It is practically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it suitable for oral solid dosage forms such as tablets. Due to its targeted mechanism of action and established clinical use, it remains an important API in infectious disease management.

ChemicalBull supplies pharma-grade Pyrimethamine with high purity, consistent particle size, and reliable batch-to-batch quality suitable for regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing. Each shipment is supported with complete documentation, including MSDS, COA, and technical data sheets, ensuring compliance with pharmaceutical quality standards.
