Sulfonamide Anti-infective Agent Definition

A class of natural or synthetic sulfanilamide derivatives with antibacterial activity. Sulfonamides are structural analogues of para-aminobenzoic acid (essential for microbial folate synthesis). Sulfonamides inhibit bacterial metabolism by competing with PABA for dihydropteroate synthase, thereby resulting in disruption of folic acid metabolism and ultimately DNA synthesis.
