Documented Uses

• Phenylbutyric acid is used for the treatment of various conditions, including urea cycle disorders, neonatal-onset deficiency, late-onset deficiency disease in patients with a history of hyperammonemic encephalopathy. Phenylbutyric acid must be combined with dietary protein restriction and, in some cases, essential amino acid supplementation. Phenylbutyric acid, as sodium phenylbutyrate, is used in combination with [tauroursodeoxycholic acid] to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in adults.
• Phenylbutyrate and sodium benzoate are orphan drugs approved for the treatment of hyperammonemia in patients with urea cycle disorders, a series of at least 8 rare genetic enzyme deficiencies. The urea cycle is the major pathway of elimination of excess nitrogen including ammonia, and absence of one of the urea cycle enzymes often causes elevations in serum ammonia which can be severe, life-threatening and result in permanent neurologic damage and cognitive deficiencies. Both phenylbutyrate and sodium benzoate act
• Take with food. The effect of food on phenylbutyrate’s absorption is unknown.
• Substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of NEOPLASMS.
• Mechanisms of Action [MoA] - Ammonium Ion Binding Activity
• Established Pharmacologic Class [EPC] - Nitrogen Binding Agent
