HIDE SMILES / InChI
Sulfabenzamide is an antibacterial/antimicrobial. Often used in conjunction with sulfathiazole and sulfacetamide (trade name - Sultrin) as a topical, intravaginal antibacterial preparation against Haemophilus (Gardnerella) vaginalis bacteria. The mode of action of SULTRIN is not completely known. Indirect effects, such as lowering the vaginal pH, may be equally important mechanisms.

Approved Use

SULTRIN (sulfathiazole, sulfacetamide and sulfabenzamide) Cream is indicated for the treatment of vaginitis caused by Haemophilus (Gardnerella) vaginalis bacteria. The diagnosis of a Haemophilus (Gardnerella) vaginalis vaginitis should be firmly established before initiation of treatment with SULTRIN (sulfathiazole, sulfacetamide and sulfabenzamide)

In Vitro Use Guide
The MTT assay was used to evaluate the viability of Epithelial tumor cell line, T-47D incubated with different concentrations of sulfabenzamide (0.0-20 mM). The 50% growth inhibition (LC50) concentration for sulfabenzamide after 48 h, were calculated as 10.8 mM. Cells incubated with sulfabenzamide exhibited negligible levels of apoptosis, necrosis and cell cycle arrest when compared to untreated cells. Despite negligible detection of DNA fragmentation, a considerable increase in caspase-3 activity was observed in cells incubated with sulfabenzamide. line incubated with different concentrations of sulfabenzamide (0.0-20 mM) after 24, 48 and 72 h
