4-Amino-3-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Description:
4-Amino-3-methylbenzenesulfonamide, also known as sulfamethoxazole, is an organic compound characterized by its sulfonamide functional group, which is a key feature of many antibacterial agents. This compound has a molecular formula that includes a sulfonamide group (-SO2NH2) attached to a benzene ring that is substituted with an amino group (-NH2) and a methyl group (-CH3). It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits moderate stability under standard conditions. The presence of the amino and sulfonamide groups contributes to its biological activity, particularly as an antibiotic, as it inhibits bacterial folic acid synthesis. The compound is often used in combination with other antibiotics to enhance its efficacy against a broad spectrum of bacterial infections. Additionally, it has applications in the pharmaceutical industry and is subject to regulatory scrutiny due to its potential side effects and interactions. Proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its stability and effectiveness.
