VET: Adverse effects associated with sulfonamides include allergic reactions, Type II and Type III hypersensitivity, arthropathy, anemia, thrombocytopenia, hepatopathy, hypothyroidism (with prolonged therapy), keratoconjunctivitis sicca, and skin reactions. Dogs may be more sensitive to sulfonamides than other animals because dogs lack the ability to acetylate sulfonamides to metabolites. Other, more toxic metabolites may persist. /Sulfonamides/

For the treatment bacterial infections causing bronchitis, prostatitis and urinary tract infections.
Sulfamethazine is a sulfonamide drug that inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for binding to dihydropteroate synthetase (dihydrofolate synthetase). Sulfamethazine is bacteriostatic in nature. Inhibition of dihydrofolic acid synthesis decreases the synthesis of bacterial nucleotides and DNA.
Anti-Infective Agents
Substances that prevent infectious agents or organisms from spreading or kill infectious agents in order to prevent the spread of infection. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Infective Agents.)

Absorption
Rapidly absorbed following oral administration.
The pharmacokinetics and metabolism of sulfadimidine (SDM) following intravenous administration of 100 mg/kg were studied in seven dwarf preruminant kids at 12 weeks of age, and again at the ruminant stage, when the animals were 18 weeks old. The persistence of SDM in 18-week-old kids was prolonged in comparison to the 12-week-old animals: a lower total body clearance and a prolonged elimination of SDM were obtained in the older animals. The renal clearance values of SDM and its metabolites were the same at both ages. The decrease of SDM clearance is related to the significant reduction in SDM hydroxylation at the older age. The reduced oxidative hepatic metabolism may result from the sexual maturation of the kids.

Sulfamethazine acetylation phenotypes were determined in 19 healthy adults (aged 17-46 years; 15 men, four women; nine white, nine oriental, one black) given a single oral dose of 20 mg/kg bw sulfamethazine in 200 mL of water. The results showed a welldefined trimodal pattern for acetylation clearance and for overall elimination or metabolic rate constants and confirmed that the fast acetylator phenotype can be subdivided into intermediate and rapid acetylator groups. The average acetylation clearance rate for rapid acetylators (1.34 mL/min per kg bw) was 8.8 times the estimated clearance for slow acetylators (0.15 mL/min per kg bw) and 1.8 times that for intermediate acetylators (0.75 mL/min per kg bw). The average percentage of an absorbed dose excreted as acetylsulfamethazine in 72-hr urine was 93.7 for rapid acetylators, 87.7 for intermediate acetylators and 65.6 for slow acetylators.

The depletion of sulfadimidine (SDM) and its N4-acetyl and hydroxy metabolites was studied in eggs laid by hens after administration of either a single or multiple oral dosages of 100 mg SDM/kg. During medication and until 1 day after the last dose, the SDM and its metabolite concentrations in the egg white exceeded those in the egg yolk and reflected the plasma levels. In the period starting 2 days after the (last) dosage, the SDM concentration in the yolk became higher than in the egg white, and the drug depletion curves ran parallel. The mean maximum amount of SDM found in the whole egg was 1500 micrograms after a single and 1280 ug after multiple dosage. In eggs, traces of the N4-acetyl and 6-methylhydroxy metabolites could be detected (mainly in the egg white), and their concentrations were approximately 40 times lower than those of the parent drug. A highly significant correlation (P less than 0.005) was found between the development stage of the oocyte at the time of (last) medication and the amount of SDM found in the egg that developed from it. A period of 7 or 8 days after the (last) dosage of 100 mg SDM/kg/day is required to obtain SDM levels below 0.1 ug/g egg.

Plasma disposition of sulfadimidine (SDM) and its metabolites was studied in laying hens after 100 mg SDM kg-1 doses were administered as a single intravenous dose, a single oral dose and multiple oral doses once daily for five consecutive days. SDM was extensively metabolized by acetylation and hydroxylation. In plasma, the metabolite observed with the highest concentration was N4-acetylsulfadimidine (N4-SDM) followed by hydroxymethylsulfadimidine (CH2OH) and 5-hydroxysulfadimidine. Following intravenous administration a biphasic elimination (as seen for a capacity limited reaction) pattern for SDM and its metabolites was observed. Multiple (5x) SDM dosing revealed plasma SDM concentrations ranging between 7 and 108 ug mL-1; within 96 hours of termination of the multiple SDM dosing, the plasma SDM concentration was below 0.01 ug mL-1. The renal clearances of N4-SDM and the hydroxy metabolites were approximately 10 times greater than that of SDM. The SDM mass balance (fecal/urinary recovery) showed a loss of 56 per cent after intravenous dosage and of 67 per cent after a single oral dosage; the hydroxy metabolites accounted for the highest percentage in feces/urine. Thus additional metabolic pathways must exist in laying hens.

After 10 male and two female healthy volunteers were given oral doses of sulfamethazine of 12-17 mg/kg bw, 10-20% of the dose was excreted in the urine as free and conjugated hydroxylated metabolites and 61-81% as N4-acetylsulfamethazine. Six of the individuals were considered to be fast acetylators and six slow acetylators. The plasma concentration-time curve for sulfamethazine in the fast acetylators was biphasic, with half-times of 1.7 and 5.4 hr, respectively, whereas in the slow acetylators it was monophasic, with a half-time of 7.6 hr.

The pharmacokinetics of sulfamethizole, sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine, sulfapyridine and sulfadimidine have been studied in man. Renal clearance values of the metabolite N4-acetylsulphonamide are 6 to 20 times higher than those of the corresponding parent compound. The renal clearance of sulfonamides is dependent on the urine flow. N4-Acetylsulfonamide concentration-time profiles for plasma and urine have been constructed for the sulfonamides. The percentage N4-acetylsulfonamide-time profiles for plasma are excellent tools for establishing the acetylator phenotype, while those constructed from urine samples are less useful. Evidence is obtained that sulfadimidine is metabolically processes by 2 different isoenzymes, while sulfadiazine, sulfapyridine and sulfamethoxazole are processes by 1 acetylating isoenzyme. Sulfamethizole is acetylated to very little extent.

After 10 male and two female healthy volunteers were given oral doses of sulfamethazine of 12-17 mg/kg bw, 10-20% of the dose was excreted in the urine as free and conjugated hydroxylated metabolites and 61-81% as N4-acetylsulfamethazine. Six of the individuals were considered to be fast acetylators and six slow acetylators. The plasma concentration-time curve for sulfamethazine in the fast acetylators was biphasic, with half-times of 1.7 and 5.4 hr, respectively, whereas in the slow acetylators it was monophasic, with a half-time of 7.6 hr.

Sulfonamides inhibit the enzymatic conversion of pteridine and p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) to dihydropteroic acid by competing with PABA for binding to dihydrofolate synthetase, an intermediate of tetrahydrofolic acid (THF) synthesis. THF is required for the synthesis of purines and dTMP and inhibition of its synthesis inhibits bacterial growth. Pyrimethamine and trimethoprim inhibit dihydrofolate reductase, another step in THF synthesis, and therefore act synergistically with the sulfonamides.
