Trimethoprim is a synthetic antibiotic that is not derived from a natural source. It was developed in the 1960s as a selective inhibitor of bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, an enzyme involved in folate synthesis. Trimethoprim is commonly used in combination with sulfamethoxazole to treat various bacterial infections, particularly urinary tract infections.
