Sulfonamide drugs (sometimes called the sulfa drugs) were first synthesized in 1932 and were the first effective antimicrobial drugs used during WW II. Later commercial production of penicillin (from 1942 first successful use clinically , discovered 1928) made it possible to provide penicillin towards the end of WW II to stave off infections in soldiers .
