Sulfadiazine
Sulfadiazine (CAS: 68-35-9), with the empirical formula C10H10N4O2S and a molecular weight of 250.28, is a short-acting sulfonamide antibiotic. It is primarily employed in combination with pyrimethamine for treating toxoplasmosis, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems like those with AIDS. It is also utilised for managing congenital infections in newborns and in research for controlling reactivated toxoplasmosis in murine models. Tech Serve Solutions supplies Sulfadiazine with an assay of ≥99.0%.

Treatment of Toxoplasmosis
Sulfadiazine is a key component, used alongside pyrimethamine, for managing toxoplasmosis. This is especially critical for patients with weakened immune systems, such as those affected by AIDS.
Congenital Infections in Newborns
This sulfonamide is also administered to newborns to treat congenital infections, providing essential early-stage treatment for vulnerable infants.
Research in Murine Models
In laboratory settings, Sulfadiazine is used to control acute infections within murine models, specifically for studying reactivated toxoplasmosis.
