Metabolite Identification
Common NameHydroxyurea
DescriptionHydroxyurea, also known as hydroxycarbamide or hydrea, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboximidic acids and derivatives. Carboximidic acids and derivatives are compounds containing a carboximidic group, with the general formula R-C(=NR1)OR2. Hydroxyurea is a drug which is used for management of melanoma, resistant chronic myelocytic leukemia, and recurrent, metastatic, or inoperable carcinoma of the ovary and sickle-cell anemia. Hydroxyurea is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Hydroxyurea is a potentially toxic compound.
