Abstract:The most widely used method for the determination of SMZ and other sulfonamides is a colorimetric assay based upon the Bratton-Marshall reaction [13]. Rieder [14] modified this method in order to distinguish between total sulfonamide (free SMZ + SMZ N4-acetyl metabolite) and the "bacteriostatically active fraction" (free SMZ); other papers described densitometric [9] and chromatographic determinations [I 1,15,16].With the introduction of high-pressure liquid-chromatography (HPLC) to the biochemical field, som… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
