General description

Chemical structure: sulfonamide

Application

Sulfacetamide is used to study the treatment of acne and seborrheic dermatitis. It is used to study neonatal chlamydial conjunctivitis and meningococcal conjunctivitis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sulfacetamide is a sulfonamide antibiotic that blocks the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteroate synthase. Sulfacetamide is a competitive inhibitor of bacterial para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), which is required for bacterial synthesis of folic acid[1]. It is active against Gram positive bacteria, Gram negative bacteria and Chlamydia. Mode of resistance is via the alteration of dihydropteroate synthase or alternative pathway for folic acid synthesis.
