Sulfonidazole is a sulfonamide antibiotic that belongs to the class of compounds known for their antibacterial properties. It is primarily used in veterinary medicine, particularly for the treatment of bacterial infections in livestock and poultry. The chemical structure of sulfonidazole features a sulfonamide group, which is characteristic of this class of drugs, contributing to its mechanism of action by inhibiting bacterial folic acid synthesis. This compound is typically administered orally and is known for its effectiveness against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In terms of physical properties, sulfonidazole is a crystalline solid that is generally soluble in water and organic solvents, which facilitates its formulation in various dosage forms. However, like many sulfonamides, it may pose risks of adverse effects, including allergic reactions and potential toxicity in certain animal species. Its use is regulated, and it is important to adhere to guidelines to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance and ensure food safety in treated animals.

1615-53-8: 1H-Imidazole, 1-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-5-nitro-, 1-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-5-nitro-1H-imidazole

1-Methyl-2-methylsulphonyl-5-nitroimidazole (NITRO) is a molecule with a nitro group in the alpha position. The redox potentials of this molecule are influential, and it reacts with both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Nitro has antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as anti-fungal properties. NITRO may be used for skin care products to treat acne or other skin conditions. It can also be used as a diagnostic agent to measure the glucose levels in people with diabetes mellitus type 2.
