Description

2'-Hydroxy-5'-methylacetanilide (HMA) is a methemoglobin-inducing agent that is used to study the uptake of acetylated compounds. HMA has been shown to have dose-dependent effects on methemoglobin production and can be used to study the interaction of active substances with hemoglobin. HMA is also used in preloaded doses as an antidote for exposure to nitrobenzene or phenacetin. This drug also induces monomers, which are small molecules that contain one or more acetyl groups, and suppresses the efflux of substances from cells. 2'-Hydroxy-5'-methylacetanilide is also known as acetoxybenzoic acid and has been shown to inhibit synaptic activity in rats.
