Sulfanilamide CAS 63-74-1 Purity >99.5% (HPLC) Factory

Sulfanilamide (CAS: 63-74-1) is an organic sulfur compound structurally similar to p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) with antibacterial property. Sulfanilamide competes with PABA for the bacterial enzyme dihydropteroate synthase, thereby preventing the incorporation of PABA into dihydrofolic acid, the immediate precursor of folic acid. This leads to an inhibition of bacterial folic acid synthesis and de novo synthesis of purines and pyrimidines, ultimately resulting in cell growth arrest and cell death.Without it, bacteria cannot replicate.
Mechanism of action: mechanism of action is to interfere with the synthesis of nucleic acids required for pathogenic microorganisms,making bacteria lack of nutrition and stop the growth, development and reproduction, having suppression killing effect on hemolytic streptococcus, staphylococcus and meningococcal.
Pharmacodynamics: Oral easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, widely distributed in the body, can penetrate the blood-brain barrier into the brain tissue, and can penetrate the placental barrier into the fetus. Rapid excretion, mainly excreted in metabolites from kidney.
Clinical application: Mainly used for trauma infection caused by infection hemolytic streptococcus, staphylococcus, and local wound infections.
Uses: Sulfanilamide is lower toxicity in sulfa drugs, can be applied for infants, pregnant women, pregnant women and during menstruation, but not in large doses. Having effects on hemolytic streptococcal infection (erysipelas, puerperal fever, tonsillitis), urinary tract infection (gonorrhea) and so; also the intermediate for synthesis of other sulfa drug (such as sulfa amidine, pyrimidine and sulfamethoxazole sulfa methoxy-triazine, etc.).
