Active ingredients

The drug AMMONAPS contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Sodium phenylbutyrate UNII NT6K61736T - SODIUM PHENYLBUTYRATE

Sodium phenylbutyrate is a pro-drug and is rapidly metabolised to phenylacetate. Phenylacetate is a metabolically active compound that conjugates with glutamine via acetylation to form phenylacetylglutamine which is then excreted by the kidneys. On a molar basis, phenylacetylglutamine is comparable to urea (each containing 2 moles of nitrogen) and therefore provides an alternate vehicle for waste nitrogen excretion.
