The discovery of the sulfonamides or sulfa drugs in 1935 by Professor Gerhard Domagk (Fig. 45.1) and his team was a pioneering achievement in the war against infections, for which Domagk received the 1939 Nobel Prize for Medicine.

Sulfonamides were the first drugs that could be used systematically against a broad spectrum of bacterial infections—and Prontosil was the most effective of them all. One of the first patients to be successfully treated with the product was Domagk’s six-year-old daughter.
