General Description

Methenamine allyloiodide, also known as Urotropin allyloiodide, is a chemical compound with the formula C9H16N4I. It is a derivative of methenamine, also known as hexamethylenetetramine, and is used as a salt form of urotropine for medical purposes. Methenamine allyloiodide is a white crystalline powder, and its medical applications include use as a urinary antiseptic to treat urinary tract infections. It works by releasing formaldehyde in acidic urine, which creates an antiseptic environment and helps to control the growth of bacteria in the urinary tract. Additionally, it has been studied for potential use in cancer treatment due to its ability to release formaldehyde as a chemotherapeutic agent.
