Succinylsulfathiazole

Succinylsulfathiazole is an oral sulfonamide antibiotic mainly used to treat intestinal bacterial infections. It acts locally in the gut due to its poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, making it effective for conditions like bacillary dysentery, enteritis, and bacterial overgrowth without causing significant systemic effects. It’s also been used historically in veterinary medicine and occasionally in combination formulations for gut sterilization before surgeries. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Colistatin, Cremosuxidine and Sulfasuxidine. Its PubChem CID is 5315.
