Iclaprim is a diaminopyrimidine antibiotic with activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It is structurally related to trimethoprim and acts by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase. Iclaprim has been investigated for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), but as of 2024, it is not approved for clinical use in the US or Europe.
