CAS 127-74-2: Acetylsulfadiazine
Description:Acetylsulfadiazine, with the CAS number 127-74-2, is a sulfonamide antibiotic that is primarily used in veterinary medicine. It is characterized by its sulfonamide structure, which includes a sulfonyl group attached to an aromatic amine. This compound exhibits antibacterial properties by inhibiting bacterial folic acid synthesis, which is essential for their growth and reproduction. Acetylsulfadiazine is typically administered in its acetylated form, enhancing its solubility and absorption. It is often used to treat infections in animals, particularly in poultry and livestock. The substance is generally stable under normal conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from light to maintain its efficacy. As with many sulfonamides, it may cause allergic reactions in some individuals, and its use is subject to regulations in food-producing animals to prevent residues in meat and milk. Overall, acetylsulfadiazine is an important compound in the field of veterinary pharmacology, contributing to the management of bacterial infections in animals.
