The discovery of the pronounced anti-rickettsial activity of p -sulphonamidobenzamidine on experimental typhus infections in mice has led to a search for compounds of enhanced therapeutic action. A large number of compounds have been prepared in development of the sulphonamido-amidine structure, but anti-rickettsial activity has been found to be confined to about a dozen substances intimately related to p -sulphonamidobenzamidine, only one, namely, p -sulphonamidobenzamidoxime, having a very slightly superior therapeutic action. The significance of the discovery of yet another sulphonamide type with pronounced biological activity is discussed.
