Sulfamethoxazole
Sulfamethoxazole (CAS: 723-46-6; Formula: C10H11N3O3S; MW: 253.28) is a sulfonamide bacteriostatic antibiotic. It functions by inhibiting the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid, a crucial step in bacterial folate metabolism. Sulfamethoxazole is widely employed in veterinary medicine and is also used as an analytical standard in research and quality control laboratories. Tech Serve Solutions supplies this compound with a VETRANAL™ analytical standard grade.
