During this time, she has also had stiffness of her joints for about 80 minutes after waking up in the morning. Examination shows swelling and tenderness of the wrists and metacarpophalangeal joints bilaterally. Her serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 42 mmh and rheumatoid factor is positive. Treatment is begun with a drug that results in decreased synthesis of deoxythymidine monophosphate. This mechanism is most similar to the mechanism of action of which of the following drugs?? A: Sulfamethoxazole, B: Doxycycline, C: Trimethoprim, D: Gentamicin, E: Azithromycinn,  <response>: This is a clinical vignette describing a 49-year-old woman with symptoms and exam findings consistent with rheumatoid arthritis, including joint pain, morning stiffness, swelling and tenderness of joints, elevated ESR, and positive rheumatoid factor. The question asks which drug has a mechanism of action most similar to the drug she was started on, which decreases deoxythymidine monophosphate dTMP synthesis. This suggests the drug inhibits folate metabolism, as dTMP is synthesized from deoxyuridine monophosphate dUMP by the enzyme thymidylate synthase using 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate as the methyl donor. Of the choices, trimethoprim has a mechanism of action most similar to inhibiting folate metabolism, as it inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, blocking synthesis of tetrahydrofolate. The other choices are antibiotics that work by different mechanisms.C: Trimethoprim
