Sulfanilamide CAS 63-74-1 Pharmaceutical Raw Material

Sulfanilamide 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.

Sulfanilamide Function:

1.Sulfanilamide is the main raw material for the synthesis of sulfa drugs.
2.Used as a reagent to determine nitrite, also used in the pharmaceutical industry.
3.Used as intermediates for the synthesis of other sulfa drugs, even for wound disinfection.
4.Amino benzene sulfonamide is intermediate of herbicide asulam, as well as intermediate of sulfa medicine.
5.Veterinary medicine, topical anti-inflammatory drugs, for analysis and detection.
6.Wide spectrum antibacterial, having antibacterial effects on hemolytic streptococcus, Neisseria meningitidis, Staphylococcus aureus and other Gram-positive and negative bacteria. This product is topical application, it can be partially absorbed from the wound. For trauma infections of hemolytic streptococcus and staphylococcus. It can also be used to quickly stop the bleeding wound.
