Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 34 mg/mL (197.44 mM)
Ethanol 17 mg/mL (98.72 mM)
Water Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
30%PEG400 0.5%Tween80 5%propylene glycol
30.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 300 μL of 100 mg/ml clarified PEG400 stock solution to 5 μL of Tween80, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL Propylene glycol to the above system, mix evenly to clarify it; then continue to add 645 μL ddH2O to adjust the volume. to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Sulfanilamide (Sulphanilamide) is a competitive inhibitor for bacterial enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase with IC50 of 320 μM.
Targets
dihydropteroate synthetase [1]
320 μM
In vitro Sulfanilamide containing the sulfonamide functional group displays inhibitory activity for dihydropteroate synthetase partially purified from Escherichia coli which normally uses para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for synthesizing the necessary folic acid acting as a coenzyme in the synthesis of purine, pyrimidine and other amino acids, exhibiting an IC 50 of 320 μM for dihydropteroate synthetasea and Km of 2.5 uM for PABA. [1] Sulfanilamide shows IC50 of 286.8 μg/mL for recombinant S. cerevisiae strains with wild-type FOL1 genes, but the single mutation 55Trp to 55Ala or 57Pro to 57Ser within the putative active site of the fungal DHPS confers resistance to Sulfanilamide with IC50 of >800 μg/mL. [2] Sulfanilamide moderately inhibits the growth of bacterial cells harboring plasmodium falciparum pKOS-pfPPPK-DHPS (His) with IC50 of 380 uM. [3]
In vivo Administration of Sulfanilamide with the dosage of 100 mg/kg/day is effective in the prevention of P. carinii infection in the immunosuppressed rat model. When the dosage of sulfaguanidine and Sulfanilamide reduced to 10 mg/kg/day, breakthrough P. carinii infection occurs in the rats. [4]
