General informationThis section has been translated automatically.
Examples of amide compounds:
- Carboxylic acid amide: the hydrogen atom of ammonia is replaced by a carboxylic acid residue (see figure)
- Peptides and proteins contain peptide bonds. Peptide bonds are also amide bonds. Peptides and proteins are also carboxylic acid amides.
- Sulphonic acid amides are found as derivatives of sulphonic acids in some drugs, such as the sulphonamides (see figure)
- Phosphoric acid amides are found as derivatives of phosphoric acids in some drugs, e.g. in cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide.
