Acetohydroxamic Acid

What Is Acetohydroxamic Acid?

Acetohydroxamic Acid, also known as N-hydroxyacetamide or AHA, is a low-molecular-weight organic hydroxamic acid. Its hydroxamic acid group can coordinate with metal ions, and the compound is widely used in urease research, pharmaceutical development, analytical work and specialty chemical synthesis.

Acetohydroxamic Acid may be supplied for pharmaceutical, research or synthesis applications. These grades are not automatically interchangeable, so buyers should confirm the specification, production controls and supporting documents before ordering.

Acetohydroxamic Acid Product Information

Appearance and analytical limits should be confirmed against the agreed specification and lot-specific Certificate of Analysis.

Which Acetohydroxamic Acid Grade Do You Need?

Pharmaceutical or API Grade

Material intended for pharmaceutical manufacturing requires more than a high assay result. Buyers should evaluate the manufacturing site, applicable quality system, impurity controls, residual solvents, elemental impurities, stability data and regulatory documents.

A material should not be described as API grade solely because its assay is 98% or higher. Pharmaceutical suitability must be confirmed for the intended market and manufacturing process.

Research and Analytical Grade

Research-grade material may be used in urease inhibition studies, biochemical research, method development, analytical testing and coordination chemistry. Required purity and documentation depend on the research protocol.

Synthesis and Fine-Chemical Grade

Synthesis-grade Acetohydroxamic Acid may be used as a specialty reagent or building block in organic and coordination chemistry. Buyers should focus on assay, related substances, water content and batch consistency.

What Is Acetohydroxamic Acid Used For?

Pharmaceutical Development

Acetohydroxamic Acid is known as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in a regulated prescription product. Material intended for this application must comply with the applicable pharmaceutical and market-specific requirements.

This page describes a B2B chemical raw material and does not provide medical advice, dosage instructions or a finished medicinal product.

Urease and Enzyme Research

Acetohydroxamic Acid is widely studied as a urease inhibitor. It is used in biochemical assays, enzyme-mechanism research and the development of analytical methods involving urease activity.

Analytical and Coordination Chemistry

The hydroxamic acid functional group can interact with metal ions. This makes the compound useful in analytical studies, metal-binding research and coordination chemistry.

Specialty Chemical Synthesis

Acetohydroxamic Acid can also be used as a specialty reagent or intermediate in selected laboratory and fine-chemical synthesis processes.

Which Quality Attributes Should Buyers Compare?

Assay alone does not establish whether Acetohydroxamic Acid is suitable for pharmaceutical, analytical or synthesis use.

The final acceptance limits should be defined by the buyer’s application and included in the approved purchasing specification.

Which Documents Should a Supplier Provide?

Depending on grade and application, buyers may request:

• Lot-specific Certificate of Analysis

• Safety Data Sheet

• Technical Data Sheet or approved specification

• Manufacturing and retest dates

• Country-of-origin information

• Packaging details

• Analytical methods or chromatograms when available

• Residual-solvent and elemental-impurity information

• Stability or retest-period information

• Manufacturer and quality-system documents for regulated applications

GMP, pharmacopeial compliance, DMF, ASMF or CEP availability should only be stated when the relevant document has been verified.

Packaging, Storage and Handling

Keep Acetohydroxamic Acid in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry and dark location. Protect it from moisture and incompatible materials. Some specifications may require storage under an inert atmosphere.

The material should be handled by trained personnel using suitable protective equipment. Always consult the current Safety Data Sheet before storage, sampling, processing or disposal.

Available packaging, transport conditions and shelf life should be confirmed with the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Acetohydroxamic Acid organic or inorganic?

It is an organic compound belonging to the hydroxamic acid family.

Is Acetohydroxamic Acid a fine chemical or an intermediate?

It is best classified as a fine chemical. It may also serve as a specialty synthesis intermediate, but “Organic Fine Chemical” is the recommended primary website category.

Is AHA the same as Acetohydroxamic Acid?

AHA is a commonly used abbreviation for Acetohydroxamic Acid. Because AHA can have other meanings, purchase documents should include the full name and CAS No. 546-88-3.

Is 98% Acetohydroxamic Acid automatically suitable as an API?

No. Assay alone does not demonstrate API suitability. Manufacturing controls, impurity limits, stability, documentation and regulatory requirements must also be evaluated.

Can research-grade material be used in pharmaceutical manufacturing?

Not automatically. Research-grade and pharmaceutical-grade materials have different production, testing and documentation requirements.
