Aminosalicylates or aminosalicylic acid is used with other drugs to treat tuberculosis. Aminosalicylic acid is thought to inhibit folic acid synthesis and/or inhibit synthesis of a component of the cell wall. It is bacteriostatic against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Aminosalicylates also prevent development of bacterial resistance to drugs such as streptomycin and isoniazid.
