Sulfamethoxazole, a sulfanilamide, is a structural analog of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). They compete with PABA to bind to dihydropteroate synthetase and inhibit conversion of PABA and dihydropteroate diphosphate to dihydrofolic acid, or dihydrofolate.
Chemical structure of a generic acylsulfonamide. Acylsulfonamide is a functional group in organic chemistry that is sometimes used in medicinal chemistry. [1] It consists of a sulfonamide group (SO 2 NH) linked to an acyl group (RCO), forming the structure R 1-CO-NH-SO 2-R 2.
