Description
Sulfamerazine is a sulfonamide antibiotic useful against a wide variety of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.It is involved in the characterization of chitosan membranes used for transporting drugs.
Sulfonamide antibiotics are derived from a chemical called sulfanilamide. They function through inhibiting the conversion of p-aminobenzoic acid to dihydropteroate, an essential step in the synthesis of folic acid. By preventing the production of folate in bacteria, the sulfonamide antibiotics ultimately suppress bacterial DNA replication.
