WHAT DOES SULPHANILAMIDE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sulfanilamide

Sulfanilamide is a sulfonamide antibacterial. Chemically, it is a molecule containing the sulfonamide functional group attached to an aniline. As a sulfonamide antibiotic, it functions by competitively inhibiting enzymatic reactions involving para-aminobenzoic acid. PABA is needed in enzymatic reactions that produce folic acid which acts as a coenzyme in the synthesis of purine, pyrimidine and other amino acids. Powdered sulfanilamide was used by WWII combat medics as a first-aid treatment to reduce infection rates and contributed to a dramatic reduction in mortality rates compared to previous wars. Modern antibiotics have supplanted sulfanilamide on the battlefield; however, sulfanilamide remains in use for treatment of vaginal yeast infections. The term "sulfanilamides" is also used to describe a family of molecules containing these functional groups. Examples include: ▪ Furosemide, a loop diuretic ▪ Sulfadiazine, an antibiotic ▪ Sulfamethoxazole, an antibiotic Sulfanilamide was first prepared in 1908 by Paul Gelmo as part of his dissertation for a doctoral degree from the Technische Hochsschule of Vienna, Austria. It was patented in 1909.
