2-Properties:
Sulphaquinoxaline is one of The sulphonamides, antimicrobial and a coccidiostat for veterinary use
Sulphonamides form an extensive series of drugs that differ more in their physicochemical characteristics, and hence in mode of administration and pharmacokinetics,
than they do in their antibacterial activity .
They act by competing with tissue factors, notably p-aminobenzoic acid, and
are therefore inactive in the presence of necrotic tissue.
They are bacteriostatic to a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. They are active against aerobic Gram-positive cocci and some rods and many Gram-negative rods including Enterobacteriaceae. Leptospira and
Pseudomonas spp. are resistant. Sulphonamides are also
active against Chlamydophila, Toxoplasma, and coccidia
