Sulfonamide functional group Hydrochlorothiazide is a sulfonamide and a thiazide. Furosemide is a sulfonamide, but not a thiazide. Sulfamethoxazole is an antibacterial sulfonamide. Sulfonamide is a functional group (a part of a molecule) that is the basis of several groups of drugs, which are called sulphonamides, sulfa drugs or sulpha drugs.

Elixir sulfanilamide was an improperly prepared sulfonamide antibiotic that caused mass poisoning in the United States in 1937. It is believed to have killed 107 people. [ 1 ] The public outcry caused by this incident and other similar disasters led to the passing of the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act , which significantly increased ...
Many important drugs contain the sulfonamide group. [1] A sulfonamide (compound) is a chemical compound that contains this group. The general formula is R−SO 2 NR'R" or R−S(=O) 2 −NR'R", where each R is some organic group; for example, "methanesulfonamide" (where R = methane, R' = R" = hydrogen) is CH 3 SO 2 NH 2.
Sulfanilamide (also spelled sulphanilamide) is a sulfonamide antibacterial drug. Chemically, it is an organic compound consisting of an aniline derivatized with a sulfonamide group. [1] Powdered sulfanilamide was used by the Allies in World War II to reduce infection rates and contributed to a dramatic reduction in mortality rates compared to ...
The infection was treated with sulfonamide and other drugs to determine their effectiveness. Experiments on homosexuals The Danish endocrinologist Carl Vaernet developed an artificial male sex gland, a capsule that slowly released testosterone when implanted under the skin.
Acylsulfonamide is a functional group in organic chemistry that is sometimes used in medicinal chemistry. [1] It consists of a sulfonamide group (SO 2 NH) linked to an acyl group (RCO), forming the structure R 1-CO-NH-SO 2-R 2. This moiety is found in several biologically active molecules and marketed drugs, serving as an useful pharmacophore. [2]
