Sulfadiazine Powder
A broad-spectrum antibiotic inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase
Catalog Number: AS-2020
CAS Number: 68-35-9
MW: 250.28 g/mol
MF: C10H10N4O2S
As a sulfonamide antibiotic, sulfadiazine powder works by competitively inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase, preventing bacteria from synthesizing folic acid. The synthesis of tetrahydrofolic acid, a necessary precursor for bacterial DNA and protein synthesis, depends on this enzyme.
Sulfadiazine has a wide range of antibacterial activity against different bacteria, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative species. Susceptible strains like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus pneumoniae are inhibited effectively with sulfadiazine powder.
