The structure of the sulfonamide group. In organic chemistry, the sulfonamide functional group (also spelled sulphonamide) is an organosulfur group with the structure R−S(=O) 2 −NR 2. It consists of a sulfonyl group (O=S=O) connected to an amine group (−NH 2). Relatively speaking this group is unreactive.

Chemical structure of a generic acylsulfonamide. 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.
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 ...
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 ...

Succinylsulfathiazole (also known as sulfasuxidine) is a sulfonamide. [1] [2] It is also spelled as succinylsulphathiazole. It is a white or yellow-white crystalline powder. It dissolves in aqueous solutions of alkali hydroxides and carbonates but is very slightly soluble in water. It is classified as ultra long-acting drug.
