Sulfisoxazole acetyl is an ester of sulfisoxazole, a broad-spectrum sulfanilamide and a synthetic analog of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) with antibacterial activity. Sulfisoxazole acetyl competes with PABA for the bacterial enzyme, dihydropteroate synthase, preventing the incorporation of PABA into dihydrofolic acid, which is the precursor of folic acid. This process causes...
