Sodium sulfacetamide is a sulfonamide with antibacterial activity
while sulfur acts as a
keratolytic agent. Sodium sulfacetamide is C H N NaO S·H O with
molecular weight of
254.24. Chemically, sodium sulfacetamide is
N-[(4-aminophenyl)sulfonyl]-acetamide,
monosodium salt, monohydrate. The structural formula is:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The most widely accepted mechanism of action of sulfonamides is the
Woods-Fildes
theory, which is based on the fact that sulfonamides act as
competitive antagonists to
para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), an essential component for bacterial
growth. While
absorption through intact skin has not been determined, sodium
sulfacetamide is readily
absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally and
excreted in the urine,
largely unchanged. The biological half-life has variously been
reported as 7 to 12.8
hours.
The exact mode of action of sulfur in the treatment of acne is
unknown, but it has been
reported that it inhibits the growth of _Propionibacterium acnes_ and
the formation of free
fatty acids.
