| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Sulfanilamide''' (also spelled '''sulphanilamide''') is a [[sulfonamide (medicine)|sulfonamide]] [[antibacterial]]. Chemically, it is a molecule containing the [[Sulfonamide (chemistry)|sulfonamide]] functional group attached to an [[aniline]].

| Sulfanilamide was first prepared in 1908 by Paul Gelmo as part of his dissertation for a doctoral degree from the Technische Hochsschule of Vienna, Austria.<ref>Paul Gelmo (May 14, 1908) [http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k90849c/f378.image "Über Sulfamide der p-Amidobenzolsulfonsäure,"] ''Journal für Praktische Chemie'', '''77''' : 369-382.</ref> It was patented in 1909.<ref>On May 18, 1909, Deutsches Reich Patentschrift number 226,239 for sulfanilamide was awarded to Heinrich Hörlein of the Bayer corporation.</ref>

| ==Mechanism of Action==
| |
| As a sulfonamide antibiotic, it functions by competitively inhibiting (i.e., by acting as a substrate analogue) enzymatic reactions involving [[para-aminobenzoic acid]] (PABA).<ref>Michael Kent, ''Advanced Biology,'' Oxford University Press, 2000, p. 46 ISBN 978-0-19-914195-1</ref> PABA is needed in enzymatic reactions that produce [[folic acid]] which acts as a coenzyme in the synthesis of purine, pyrimidine and other amino acids.
