Acetohydroxamic acid (N-Hydroxyacetamide) is a chemical compound that acts as an inhibitor for bacterial and plant urease, commonly used for treating chronic urinary tract infections. It also exhibits selective inhibition of arachidonic acid 5-lipoxygenase, making it useful in asthma research. Beyond these, it inhibits the formation of advanced glycation end products and effectively reduces oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. This compound also demonstrates antiviral activity against HIV.
