Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including

Sulfisoxazole is a sulfonamide antibacterial antibiotic. The sulfonamides are synthetic bacteriostatic antibiotics with a wide spectrum against most gram-positive and many gram-negative organisms. However, many strains of an individual species may be resistant. Sulfisoxazole acetyl in combination with erythromycin ethylsuccinate is used for treatment of ACUTE OTITIS MEDIA in children that is caused by susceptible strains of Haemophilus influenzae. Sulfisoxazole acetyl is a prodrug of sulfisoxazole. Acetyl group is added to make the drug poorly water soluble, and is hydrolyzed in vivo to the active drug. Sulfisoxazole and its acetylated metabolites are excreted primarily by the kidneys through glomerular filtration. Sulfisoxazole is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase. It inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by preventing the condensation of the pteridine with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), a substrate of the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase. The inhibited reaction is necessary in these organisms for the synthesis of folic acid

Sample Use Guides

Sulfisoxazole acetyl for oral suspension can be calculated based on the sulfisoxazole component (150 mg/kg/day to a maximum of 6 g/day). The total daily dose of sulfisoxazole acetyl for oral suspension should be administered in equally divided doses three or four times a day for 10 days
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: In vitro studies provided support for the protective effect of sulfisoxazole. Here, it was clearly shown that sulfisoxazole attenuated the elevation of nitric oxide (deduced by measuring nitrite) and the reduction in numbers of GABA-containing neurones caused by LPS
