Benzenesulfonamides

A group of compounds that contain sulfonamide group S-linked to a benzene ring. Many benzenesulfonamide derivatives are pharmaceuticals (e.g., BOSENTAN; SULFAPYRIDINE; and SULFADIAZINE; CELECOXIB) as their sulfonamide moiety target various enzymes (e.g., CARBONIC ANHYDRASES; ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE; BUTYRYLCHOLINESTERASE; and CYCLOOXYNENASE 2).
