Methenamine Hippurate

Methenamine hippurate is a broad-spectrum urinary antiseptic agent. Under acidic conditions, methenamine hippurate is hydrolyzed to formaldehyde and ammonia, which exerts an antibacterial effect. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria but lacks activity against Proteus and other bacteria that increase urine alkalinity. Formulations containing methenamine hippurate have been used to treat urinary tract infections.Formal Name: N-benzoyl-glycine, compd. with 1,3,5,7-tetraazatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane.
