sulameid

Sulameid is a term with no established meaning in standard chemical nomenclature. As of today, it does not correspond to a widely recognized compound class in major databases such as PubChem or ChEBI, and it is not listed as a defined term in contemporary chemical handbooks. Because of this, its interpretation depends on the source. It may be a typographical error, a coined term in a fictional or speculative context, or a very old or regional usage that has not gained general acceptance.

The word appears to combine the root suggesting sulfur with the suffix -eid, which is atypical for chemical names in English. This has contributed to ambiguity. In many cases where similar-looking terms arise, readers may instead encounter sulfonamides (sulfonamide compounds) or sulfamides, which are well-defined classes containing a sulfonyl group bonded to an amide nitrogen.

If sulameid is intended to refer to a sulfur-containing amide, the more common terminology would be sulfonamide or sulfamide, depending on the exact structure.

Other uses: Sulameid has also appeared as a surname or place name in some records, though such uses are not widely documented and are unrelated to chemistry.
