Sulfamethylphenazole
Sulfamethylphenazole (Sulfapyrazole; Vesulong) is a long-acting sulfonamide antibacterial agent. Sulfamethylphenazole maintains effective chemotherapeutic blood concentrations through the slow release of free sulfonamide from a protein-binding reservoir and can be used in combination with antibiotics such as Terramycin for bovine hemorrhagic septicemia. Sulfamethylphenazole exhibits moderate antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MIC = 15.38 μg/mL) and inhibitory activity against CYP 2C9. Sulfamethylphenazole can be used in studies related to tuberculosis and hemorrhagic septicemia.

Biological Activity
|
CYP2C9 |
In a field survey of hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle/buffaloes in Punjab, Pakistan, Sulfamethylphenazole combined with terramycin is preferred by 60% of veterinarians, while its single use is accepted by 30% of them. Moreover, it is only effective when administered in the early stage of the disease[3].

Animal Model:Female calves (Kalbinnen), 2-3 years of age[2]
-
Dosage:10 mL/100 kg; 20 mL/100 kg; 30 mL/100 kg
-
Administration:i.m.; single injection
-
Result:10 mL/100 kg dose group: twenty-four hours after dosing, the mean total sulfonamide in whole blood was 0.8 mg/100 mL and the mean free sulfonamide was 0.1 mg/100 mL. This free level was below the chemotherapeutically active threshold (0.2-0.3 mg/100 mL whole blood) and did not maintain an effective blood concentration.
20 mL/100 kg dose group: twenty-four hours after dosing, the mean total sulfonamide in whole blood was 2.1 mg/100 mL and the mean free sulfonamide was 0.3 mg/100 mL. This free level reached the active threshold and sustained a chemotherapeutically effective concentration for at least 24 hours.
30 mL/100 kg dose group: twenty-four hours after dosing, the mean total sulfonamide in whole blood was 4.2 mg/100 mL and the mean free sulfonamide was 0.7 mg/100 mL. This exceeded the active threshold and represented supratherapeutic exposure.
A single intramuscular injection of 20 mL of the 20% test sulfonamide solution per 100 kg body weight was the optimal dosage to maintain a chemotherapeutically active free sulfonamide level for at least 24 hours in cattle.
