Sulfamethizole
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Sulfamethizole is a sulfathiazole antibiotic. Sulfamethizole inhibits the synthesis of folic acid and thymine, and selectively suppresses Photobacterium phosphoreum bioluminescence. Sulfamethizole exerts antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli-mediated urinary tract infections but no activity against sulII gene-positive Escherichia coli. Sulfamethizole is applicable for the research of urinary tract infections and Photobacterium phosphoreum bioluminescence mechanisms.

Sulfamethizole (3×10-4-10-3 M; 5-14 h) does not reduce in vitro luciferase or flavin reductase activities in cell-free extracts from Photobacterium phosphoreum strain 496 after 5 h and 14 h of incubation, with over 90% of extractable specific enzyme activity retained at 5 h for both concentrations[1].
Sulfamethizole exhibits distinct in vitro MIC values against different type 1-fimbriated E. coli clinical isolates, with MICs of 128 μg/mL, 512 μg/mL, and > 2048 μg/mL for strains KMA-26883, UVI-203, and KMA-28523, respectively[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.25 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
