Acetohydroxamic acid

An enzyme inhibitor that inhibits urease and thus can treat some infections

Acetohydroxamic acid is a drug that is a potent and irreversible enzyme inhibitor of the urease enzyme in various bacteria and plants; it is usually used for urinary tract infections. The molecule is similar to urea but is not hydrolyzable by urease; it thus disrupts the bacteria's metabolism through competitive inhibition.
