Question

sulphonamides are in action​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mode of action: Inhibition of other metabolic processes. Sulfonamides interfere with folic acid synthesis by preventing addition of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) into the folic acid molecule through competing for the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase.

Effect on bacteria: Bacteriostatic

Spectrum of activity: Broad-spectrum; affects Gram-positive and many Gram-negative ...

Example: Sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfadoxine

Answer 2

Answer:

Sulfanomides Mode of Action. Antibacterial sulfonamides target a bacterial metabolic pathway as competitive inhibitors of the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase, DHPS. Dihydropteroate synthetase activity is vital in the synthesis of folate, and folate is required for cells to make nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA
