Sulfasalazine is an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drug composed of sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid linked by an azo bond. It is primarily used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and also for rheumatoid arthritis. Sulfasalazine is approved and widely used today.
Pharmacokinetics reported in healthy adult volunteers after single oral dose.
