Sulphanilamide molecule

Sulphanilamide molecule. Molecular model of sulphanilamide (C6H8N2O2S), also known as 4- aminobenzenesulphonamide. Carbon atoms are black, hydrogen are white, nitrogen are blue, oxygen are red and sulphur is yellow. Sulphanilamide forms colourless crystals. It is used as a treatment for bacterial infections, for example streptococcal infection and meningococcal meningitis. It is bacteriostatic rather than bactericidal. This means that the drug stops the growth of bacteria, thereby allowing the bodys own defence mechanisms to destroy the bacteria

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Sulphanilamide, a powerful antibacterial compound used in medical treatments. The model depicts the Sulphanilamide molecule (C6H8N2O2S), also known as 4-aminobenzenesulphonamide, with carbon atoms represented by black spheres, hydrogen by white spheres, nitrogen by blue spheres, oxygen by red spheres, and sulphur highlighted in yellow. Sulphanilamide forms colorless crystals and is renowned for its efficacy in combating bacterial infections such as streptococcal infection and meningococcal meningitis. As a bacteriostatic drug, it halts the growth of bacteria rather than directly killing them. This unique mechanism allows the body's natural defense mechanisms to take over and destroy the bacteria effectively. The image beautifully captures the complexity of this organic compound essential for health care. Its structural bonds are clearly visible through an arrangement of balls connected by sticks representing chemical bonds between atoms. The molecular model provides valuable insights into how Sulphanilamide interacts at a microscopic level within our bodies. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable photograph that combines artistry with scientific precision to enhance our understanding of medicine and chemistry. It serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous pursuit to develop effective drugs that combat harmful pathogens while supporting our innate healing abilities.
