CAS 144-82-1: Sulfamethizole
Description:Sulfamethizole is a sulfonamide antibiotic that belongs to the class of sulfa drugs, primarily used for its antibacterial properties. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit bacterial growth by interfering with the synthesis of folic acid, which is essential for bacterial metabolism. The chemical structure of sulfamethizole includes a sulfonamide group, a methyl group, and a thiazole ring, contributing to its pharmacological activity. It is typically administered orally and is effective against a variety of gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria. Sulfamethizole is known for its relatively low solubility in water, which can affect its absorption and bioavailability. Commonly used in the treatment of urinary tract infections and other bacterial infections, it may also be employed in combination with other antibiotics to enhance therapeutic efficacy. However, like other sulfonamides, sulfamethizole can cause side effects, including allergic reactions and gastrointestinal disturbances, and its use has declined with the advent of newer antibiotics.
