Product Information

• Name: Sulfasymazine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sulfasymazine is a synthetic antibacterial agent, which is derived from sulfonamide compounds. These compounds originate from chemical synthesis processes involving the introduction of sulfonamide groups to aromatic amines, creating potent inhibitors of bacterial growth. Sulfasymazine functions by interfering with the synthesis of folic acid within bacterial cells. It inhibits the enzyme dihydropteroate synthase, which is crucial for the production of dihydrofolate, a precursor of folic acid. This disruption hampers nucleic acid synthesis, impeding bacterial proliferation.
