The "Sulfanilamide Effect" of Substances Devoid of Sulfo Groups

Abstract

Demonstration that the antibacterial effect of p-aminobenzamide and p-aminophenylarsinic acid (atoxyl) is inhibited by p-aminobenzoic acid, as is also true of sulfanilamides, suggests that a further new group of substances with chemotherapeutic effects toward bacterial infections might be found among the derivatives of p-aminobenzoamide.
