Erythromycin is produced by a strain of Saccaropolyspora erythraea and belongs to the macrolide group of antibiotics.

It is essentially a tasteless form of the antibiotic suitable for oral administration, particularly in suspension dosage forms. The chemical name is erythromycin 2’-(ethylsuccinate).

Sulfisoxazole acetyl or N’-acetyl sulfisoxazole is an ester of sulfisoxazole. Chemically, sulfisoxazole is N'-(3, 4- dimethyl-5- isoxazotyl) sulfanilamide.
