Succinylsulfathiazole is antibacterial

ChEBI: N-succinylsulfathiazole is a member of 1,3-thiazoles. It is functionally related to a sulfathiazole.

3.92 g of succinic anhydride was added to a boiling suspension of 10 g of 2- sulfanilamidothiazole in 100 cc of alcohol. The mixture was then refluxed for five minutes after the addition was complete at which time all of the solids were in solution. The solution was then cooled and diluted with an equal volume of water. The white solid precipitate which formed was filtered and recrystallized from dilute alcohol, yielding 2-N4-succinylsulfanilamidothiazole, melting at 184°C to 186°C.
