Crystal and molecular structure of silver sulphadiazine (N 1-pyrimidin-2-ylsulphanilamide)

Abstract: The X-ray crystal structure analysis of the 1 : ' 1 title complex is reported. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2,lc, with a = 6.172(5), b = 9.605(8), c = 20.33(2) A, p = 96.60(8)", and Z = 4. The structure has been solved from visually estimated data by the heavy-atom method, and refined by least-squares to R 10.2% for 1 865 non-zero observed reflections. Each silver atom is co-ordinated to three sulphadiazine molecules by a distorted tetrahedral configuration of three nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom,… Show more

“…The complex of a sulfa drug, sulfadiazine, with silver now appears to be one of the most effective agents for the control of infections in severely burned patients (Fox, 1968;Modak & Fox, 1973;Fox & Modak, 1974). Its crystal structure determination 0108-2701/86/111505-05501.50 (Baenziger & Struss, 1976;Cook & Turner, 1975) showed that its low solubility is due to its polymeric nature in the crystal form. A few strains of bacteria have developed resistance to silver sulfadiazine, however, so that a search has continued for additional compounds which might be effective as topical burn treatment agents.…”

“…S-C(7) at 1.775 (4)A agrees with 1.766/i, found in sodium naphthionate tetrahydrate (Brown & Corbridge, 1966) and S-N(1) at 1.661 (3)/i, agrees with 1.666/k in y-sulphanilamide (All~aume & Decap, 1965). The other bonds in the molecule are similar to those found in other sulphanilamides and sulphadiazines, a table of comparisons is given by Cook & Turner (1975).…”

“…Zinc sulfadiazine is used to prevent bacterial infection in burned animals and silvadene (2-sulfanilamidopyrimidine-silver(I)) is used commercially for the treatment of topical burn [15]. The crystal structures of silver sulfadiazine [16], zinc sulfadiazine [17] and cadmium sulfadiazine [18] have been reported. In our effort to contribute to metal-based drugs as alternative therapies in the management of chloroquine-resistant malaria, we have embarked on the synthesis, characterization and in vitro studies of metal complexes of antimalarial drugs [19].…”
