Applications
CAS 723-46-6 (Sulfamethoxazole) is a broad-spectrum sulfonamide antibiotic widely used in human and veterinary medicine, often combined with Trimethoprim (Co-trimoxazole, Bactrim). It inhibits bacterial dihydropteroate synthase, blocking folic acid synthesis and suppressing growth of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus) and Gram-negative (E. coli, Salmonella) bacteria. Primary uses include urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, and prophylaxis for Pneumocystis pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. In veterinary, it treats livestock and poultry bacterial diseases. As a pharma API, it’s produced under GMP; also used as a research reagent in microbiology and pharmacology.
