General description

Chemical structure: sulfonamide

Application

Sulfaguanidine is used to block the synthesis of folic acid. It is used to study its effect on microsporidial growth and host cell viability.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sulfaguanidine is a sulfonamide antibiotic. Sulfonamides block the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteroate synthase. Sulfonamides are competitive inhibitors of bacterial para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), which is required for bacterial synthesis of folic acid. Sulfaguanidine is a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor. Sulfonamides are active against Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative bacteria. Mode of resistance is via the alteration of dihydropteroate synthase or alternative pathway for folic acid synthesis.

Two electrically neutral analytes previously observed to be separated from the neutral marker in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) experiments [sulphanilamide (SAA) and sulphaguanidine (SGW)] have been examined to determine the basis for separation. The degree of separation increases markedly with

Microspheres were formed when a solution of cellulose phthalate was extruded into 30% glacial acetic acid solution. Sulphonamides entrapped in such microspheres leached into the hardening solution because they dissolved freely in the acetic acid solution. This resulted in poor
