Abstract
Conclusions
The ability of sulfanilamide and structurally related compounds to develop color on ultraviolet irradiation appears to be dependent on the presence or absence of substituents in the p-amino and sulfamido groups. A study of the anticatalase properties of sulfanilamide and related compounds indicates a possible correlation between therapeutic activity and the intrinsic anticatalase activity associated with the non-irradiated compound. Neither color production nor the high anticatalase activity developed as a consequence of irradiation appear to be related to therapeutic effectiveness.
