Sulfonamide drugs were the first antimicrobial drugs, and paved the way for the antibiotic revolution in medicine. The first sulfonamide was trade named Prontosil, which is a prodrug Prontosil,
Sulfonamides
Effective against a broad range of microorganisms Block specific step in biosynthetic pathway of folic acid Interfere with PABA and folic acid formation, thereby destroying bacteria
Oral, absorbable
Short-acting;4Short-acting;4-8hr
Sulfadiazine
Medium-acting;8Medium-acting;8-12hr
Sulfamethaxazole
LongLong-acting;~7hr
Sulfadoxine,Sulmethopyrazine
Oral, nonabsorbable; Sulfasalazine, Topical; Sodium sulfacetamide ophthalmic solution or ointment, Mafenide acetate, SML; Silver sulfadiazine, SD-Ag
Mechanism of action
Bacteriostatic action Prevent synthesis of folic acid required for synthesis of purines and nucleic acid Does not affect human cells or certain bacteriathey bacteria can use preformed folic acid
Pharmacokinetics
Oral administration, absorbed well, Distributed widely to tissues and body fluids, including CNS and cerebrospinal fluid, placenta, and fetus; 20-90% protein binding rate; 20Acetylated or glucuronidated in the liver,
Sulfonamides and inactive metabolites are excreted into the urine, they are more soluble at alkaline than at acid pH. In renal pH. failure patient, drug dose must be reduced.
Sulfadoxine+Tmp
Used as a second-line agent in treatment for malaria.
Sulfasalazine
widely used in ulcerative colitis, enteritis, and other inflammatory bowel disease.
Mafenide acetate
Prevent bacterial colonization and infection of burn wounds,
Silver sulfadiazine
For prevention of infection of burn wounds
2. Hematopoietic disturbances
Hemolytic or aplastic anemia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, or leukemoid reactions. Provoke hemolytic reactions in patients whose red cells are deficient in glucoseglucose6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
The most common adverse effects are fever, skin rashes, exfoliative dermatitis, photosensitivity, urticaria, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. StevensStevens-Johnson syndrome, is a particularly serious and potentially fatal type of skin and mucous membrane eruption associated with sulfonamide use.
Patient Suffering from StevensJohnson syndrome
