An antibiotic and endothelin receptor antagonist
Sulfisoxazole, an endothelin receptor antagonist, is a sulfonamide antibacterial with an oxazole substituent.Target: Antibacterial; Endothelin ReceptorThe sulfanilamide antibacterial agent sulfisoxazole was found to be a good endothelin receptor antagonist (IC50's of 0.60 microM and 22 microM for the ETA and ETB receptors, respectively) [1]. Sulfisoxazole is used to treat or prevent infections in many different parts of the body. It belongs to the group of medicines known as sulfonamide antibiotics.
