Negasunt®
Coumaphos + Propoxur + Sulfanilamide
Negasunt dusting powder
What is this product?
Bayer Negasunt Powder 20g is a veterinary specific dusting powder for convenient application for anti-bacterial wound dressing. It is prescribed by the vet for treatment of maggoted wounds, foot lesions of FMD, surgical wounds, accidental wounds or navel infections.
Coumaphos and Propoxur are direct inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), the enzyme that physiologically hydrolyse the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Basically, inhibition of AChE causes accumulation of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft, causing continuous stimulation of cholinergic receptors throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. This overstimulation prevents termination of those nervous signals leading to overexcitation and massive disturbance of normal body movements in parasites. It results in paralysis and quick eventual death. While sulfanilamide is a competitive inhibitor of bacterial enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase which uses para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for synthesis of the necessary folic acid. Without it, replication is impossible for the bacteria.
