Methenamine - PubChem

Methenamine - Compound Summary (CID 4101) Also known as: Hexamethylenetetramine, Urotropine, Hexamine, 100-97-0, 1,3,5,7-Tetraazaadamantane, Aminoform, Methenamin, Urotropin, Uritone Molecular Formula: C₆H₁₂N₄ Molecular Weight: 140.18628 InChIKey: VKYKSIONXSXAKP-UHFFFAOYSA-N An anti-infective agent most commonly used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. Its anti-infective action derives from the slow release of formaldehyde by hydrolysis at acidic pH.
