| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Interactions
One hour before administering ammonium acetate to dogs with ECK fistulas, administration of an equimolar concentration of a mixture of ornithine and aspartic acid (1 mmol/kg) effectively prevented ammonia toxicity in the blood. In rats, the addition of other amino acids in combination with arginine hydrochloride significantly enhanced the protective effect of arginine hydrochloride against ammonium acetate poisoning. Carbamoyl aspartic acid protected rats from the toxic effects of ammonium acetate alone by lowering blood ammonia levels and increasing blood urea levels. Injection of a mixture of 1 mmol/kg N-carbamoyl-L-glutamate and 1 mmol/kg L-arginine provided 100% protection against hyperammonemia in rats, followed by administration of the rat LD99.9 dose (10.8 mmol/kg) of ammonium acetate.

| Additional Infomation |
Ammonium acetate is a white crystalline solid. Its main hazard lies in its environmental threat. Immediate measures should be taken to limit its environmental release. It is used in chemical analysis, pharmaceuticals, food preservation, and other applications. Ammonium acetate is an ammonium salt produced by the reaction of ammonia and acetic acid. It is a deliquescent white crystalline solid with a relatively low melting point (114°C). It was once used as a food acidity regulator, but the EU no longer approves its use for this purpose. It can be used as both a buffer and a food acidity regulator. It is both an ammonium salt and an acetate. See also: Calcium sulfate (related); Aluminum chloride (related); Talc (related)...

Mechanism of Action Although the exact mechanism of systemic ammonia poisoning remains to be elucidated, evidence suggests that cerebral oxidative energy metabolism is disrupted. In rats induced into a coma by ammonium acetate, basal brain structural samples showed significant reductions in glycogen, glucose, ATP, and especially creatine phosphate. Using cortical cuvette and multi-ion detection techniques, the effect of ammonium ions on glutamate release in the rat cerebral cortex was measured in vivo. The results showed that ammonium ions can increase the release and production of glutamate in the brain. The increased concentration of this amino acid in the extracellular space may be one of the mechanisms of ammonia toxicity in vivo. /Ammonium ions/ Therapeutic Uses Diuretics Veterinary drugs: As a nutritional supplement Veterinary drugs: Formerly used as diuretics and antipyretics |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
