Overview

Sulfanilamide is a sulfonamide antibacterial drug, chemically known as 4-aminobenzenesulfonamide. It is an organic compound consisting of an aniline derivatized with a sulfonamide group.

Uses

Sulfanilamide is primarily used in topical preparations for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections such as vulvovaginitis caused by Candida albicans. Historically, it was used during World War II to reduce infection rates.

Regulatory

Sulfanilamide is regulated under various international standards. It has specific ATC codes (J01EB06, D06BA05, QJ01EQ06) and is identified by multiple chemical databases such as PubChem (CID 5333) and DrugBank (DB00259).

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of sulfanilamide residues in food and environmental samples is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and to safeguard public health.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Sulfanilamide is rarely used systemically due to its toxicity and the availability of more effective sulfonamides. Adverse effects are typically limited to hypersensitivity or local skin reactions when used topically.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

While specific data on the environmental impact of sulfanilamide on wildlife is limited, the general concern with sulfonamides is their potential to disrupt microbial communities and aquatic ecosystems.

Safety Measures

Sulfanilamide is contraindicated in individuals hypersensitive to sulfonamides, nursing mothers, pregnant women near term, and infants under two months of age. Proper handling and usage guidelines should be followed to prevent adverse effects.

Regulation

The use of sulfanilamide is subject to stringent regulations to ensure safety and efficacy. The 1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in the US was a direct result of the Elixir Sulfanilamide tragedy, highlighting the importance of proper drug testing and regulation.
