| Interactions | Concurrent use of alcoholic beverages with acetohydroxamic acid has resulted in a nonpruritic, reddish, macular skin rash about 30 to 45 minutes after ingestion. The rash may be associated with a general feeling of warmth and tingling, and usually disappears spontaneously in 30 to 60 minutes.Acetohydroxamic acid chelates iron and possibly other heavy metals with concurrent oral administrationthis may result in reduced intestinal absorption of bothif iron therapy is indicated, parenteral administration of iron is recommended.In vitro studies indicate that acetohydroxamic acid and methenamine have a synergistic effect in inhibiting increases in pH caused by urease-producing Proteus spp. and that acetohydroxamic acid potentiates the antibacterial effect of methenamine against these bacteria... |
| Human Toxicity Excerpts | Acetohydroxamic acid was positive for mutagenicity in the Ames test.Acetohydroxamic acid overdose has not been reported. However, if it should occur, concomitant reduction in platelets and/or white blood cells should be anticipated |
Applications & Uses
Description
Acetohydroxamic acid is a potent, non-competitive and irreversible inhibitor of bacterial urease (Ki≈lO-7M). This enzyme, which is widely distributed in plants and bacteria, but not in mammalian cells, catalyzes the decomposition of urea to ammonia. Elevated urinary ammonia levels can reduce the antibacterial effectiveness of a number of agents. Thus, acetohydroxamic acid is useful as adjunctive therapy to decrease urinary ammonia and alkalinity in patients with chronic urea-splitting urinary infection. Such infections are a leading cause of recurring complications and death in paraplegics.
Uses
Acetohydroxamic acid is a potent inhibitor of bacterial urease activity and reduces urinary ammonia levels. 2-Acetohydroxamic acid loaded floating microspheres forms an efficient drug delivery system for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori.Acetohydroxamic acid was used:to study the mechanism of complexation of iron (III) with acetohydroxamic acid.to study the inhibitory mechanism of lansoprazole and omeprazole on Helicobacter pyloni.in urease inhibition studies.for in situ generation of nitrosocarbonylmethane as a Diels-Alder dienophile.Used in urease inhibition studies and for in situ generation of nitrosocarbonylmethane as a Diels-Alder dienophile.
Uses
A urease inhibitor. Used in the synthesis
Uses
Urease inhibitorAcetohydroxamic acid acts as a drug, as an inhibitor of bacterial and plant urease, which is used for urinary tract infections. It is also used in organic synthesis. It acts as an antiurolithic and antibacterial agent. It is involved in the study of complexation of iron(III) with acetohydroxamic acid as well as in the inhibition study of lansoprazole and omeprazole on Helicobacter pyloni. It plays an important role in the insitu generation of nitrosocarbonylmethane as a Diels-Alder dienophile. In addition to this, it is used in the treatment of kidney stones and urinary tract infections.
