Methenamine hippurate

CAS: 5714-73-8
Molecular Formula: C15H21N5O3
Molecular Weight: 319.35894
Product description:The product itself antibacterial effect is not strong, but after entering the body, acidity (pH 6.5) in the urine of conditions, can be hydrolyzed into hippuric acid and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde can make the pathogen protein denaturation and give play to the role of nonspecific antibacterial, formaldehyde concentration in the urine according to different pH, urine volume and discharge rate, bactericidal or bacteriostatic action. Hippuric acid can maintain the urine acid and promote the release of formaldehyde. Almost all bacteria and fungi to this product produced by the hydrolysis of formaldehyde is sensitive to nonspecific antibacterial effect.This product is a urinary tract infection prevention and medical treatment, suitable for postoperative urinary tract and cystoscopy after indwelling catheter.
