Sulfapyridine, USP is a first generation sulfonamide discovered in 1937 by L Whitby (May & Baker) and originally named M&B693. Sulfapyridine has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used in studies of immunodeficiency and inflammation. It can also be used in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) where it scavenges peroxyl radicals. A related compound is sulfasalazine which is one molecule of sulfapyridine linked to one molecule of mesalamine with an azo chemical linker.
Sulfapyridine is practically insoluble in water. Formulations with sodium have similar potency and improved water solubility.
