Chemical Structure of Sulfadimidine

NOTE:

Sulfadimethylpyrimidine has been used as a synonym for sulfisomidine ( ). Care should be taken to avoid confusion between the two compounds, which are isomeric. Pharmacopoeias: In Eur. (see ), Int., US, and Viet.

Ph. Eur. 5.5 (Sulfadimidine). White or almost white powder or crystals. Very slightly soluble in water; slightly soluble in alcohol; soluble in acetone. It dissolves in solutions of alkali hydroxides and in dilute mineral acids. Protect from light. USP 29 (Sulfamethazine). White to yellowish-white, practically odourless, powder. It may darken on exposure to light. Very slightly soluble in water and in ether; slightly soluble in alcohol; soluble in acetone. Protect from light.

Drug Profile
Sulfadimidine is a short-acting sulfonamide with properties similar to those of sulfamethoxazole ( ).

It is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is about 80 to 90% bound to plasma proteins. Reported half-lives have ranged from 1.5 to 4 hours in fast and 5.5 to 8.8 hours in slow acetylators. Because of the relatively high solubility of the drug and its acetyl metabolite, crystalluria may be less likely than with sulfamethoxazole. In the treatment of susceptible infections, sulfadimidine has been given by mouth in an initial dose of 2 g, followed by 0.5 to 1.0 g every 6 to 8 hours. It has also been given parenterally as the sodium salt. Sulfadimidine has also been used with other sulfonamides, particularly sulfamerazine and sulfadiazine. It is also used in veterinary medicine, sometimes with baquiloprim or trimethoprim. Because its pharmacokinetics differ in fast and slow acetylators, sulfadimidine has been used to determine acetylator status.
