Sulfacetamide
An antibacterial of the sulfonamide family that blocks folic acid synthesis in bacteria: it is used mainly as eye drops for conjunctivitis and, as a lotion, for acne and seborrhoeic dermatitis. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?It works as an 'impostor': it resembles para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), the raw material bacteria use to make folic acid, and takes its place in the enzyme dihydropteroate synthase.
