A study of eight sulfonamide-resistant clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae revealed chromosomal mutations within the gene encoding dihydropteroate synthase that play a role in conferring resistance to sulfamethoxazole. The presence of the suld mutation, found previously only in a laboratory mutant, was shown to occur in three of the wild-type clinical isolates. The duplication of Ser(...

HIV-infected patients show a markedly increased risk of delayed hypersensitivity (HS) reactions to potentiated sulfonamide antibiotics (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole or TMP/SMX). Some studies have suggested altered SMX biotransformation in HIV infection, but hepatic biotransformation pathways have not been evaluated directly. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is another chronic inflammatory di...

The Permanente Journal/ Summer 2001/ Volume 5 No. 3 There have been 427 appendectomies performed in this hospital since August 1942. Fifty-one perforated appendixes were encountered. There have been no deaths in the combined series. The different pathological forms and other data of acute appendicitis with perforation, which we have encountered, are outlined in the charts below accompanied by a...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes are recognized as new environmental pollutants that warrant special concern. There were few reports on veterinary antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes in China. This work systematically analyzed the prevalence and distribution of sulfonamide resistance genes in soils from the environments around poultry and livestock farms in Jiangsu Province, Southeas...

Inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs) is emerging as a new strategy in human cancer therapy. We have designed and synthesized novel nonhydroxamate sulfonamide anilides that can inhibit human HDAC enzymes and can induce hyperacetylation of histones in human cancer cells. These compounds selectively inhibit proliferation and cause cell cycle blocks in various human cancer cells but not in no...

The title compound, C(10)H(14)N(2)O(3)S, crystallized with two mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The terminal methyl group of the ethyl-sulfonamide moiety in mol-ecule B is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.61 (1):0.39 (1). Both mol-ecules have L-shaped conformations. In mol-ecule A, the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and its ethyl-sulfonamide a...

A chiral sulfonamide primary amine-organocatalysed, highly enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to enones has been developed. This reaction afforded the corresponding products in excellent yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee).

N-substituted benzenesulfonamides, incorporating the N-amino-, N-hydroxy- and N-methoxy-moieties at the sulfonamide zinc binding group, have been investigated as CAIs by means of inhibition and structural studies, unraveling interesting aspects related to their inhibition mechanism.

Monodispersed intermetallic AuCu pentagonal nanorods with controlled size and composition have been developed by a seed-mediated growth route. The AuCu/C nanomaterial catalyzed the coupling reaction of sulfonamide with benzyl alcohol in good to excellent yields.

The title compound, C(13)H(19)NO(2)S, was synthesized by the reaction of N-cyclo-hexyl-amine-benzene-sulfonamide and methyl iodide. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
