What is sulphacyl sodium
Sulphazyl sodium refers to antimicrobial, simply speaking, antiseptic, preparations of a group of sulfonamide. From antibiotics sulfonamides differ in origin: antibiotics were «Sounded» On mold fungi and bacteria, and sulfonamides «Found» in aniline dyes.
How were sulfonamides?
The history of the opening of sulfonamide began in the distant 1908., When the Austrian chemist student. Helmo synthesized sulfanimide as a basis for sustainable dyes, and for 20 years no one guess his antimicrobial action. In 1935. Another German chemist g. GoseGC during the experiment introduced mice, infected with streptococcus, various substances and watched the reaction. He discovered among aniline dyes a substance - ripped, or red streptocid, saved experimental animals from streptococcal infection, but not acting on these bacteria outside the body. For this discovery of g. GOMEGC was awarded the Nobelian Prize. Later it was found that the decay occurs in the body ripped to the formation of sulfanyamide, acting on bacteria and in the body and outside the body. GoseGC held a clinical experiment on his own daughter, by negligent needle a needle, which when trying to extract her broke. I had to contact surgeons that got the needle and put the seams. And the next day the hand is swollen - pronounced inflammation began, which came to the elbow. At that time there was only one way of salvation of the child's life - amputation. Then Gomegk decided and, with the consent of surgeons, began treatment with pronosil, introducing it intravenously. On the second day the temperature began to decline, the edema decreased, and soon the girl was fully recovered.
Other preparations based on sulfanyamide were created later, and sodium sulfacyl.

The mechanism of action is that the microbes for vital activity requires para -aminobenzoic acid, and sulfonamides have chemical similarities with this most acid and enter instead of chemical reactions in the body of bacteria. This leads to a violation of the vital activity of bacteria.
