Sulfasalazine

An anti-inflammatory drug devised in Sweden by Nanna Svartz and in use since the 1940s: it joins sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid in a single molecule, which bacteria in the colon split apart. It is used for ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
