Ammonium Sulfamate is an acid salt of Amidosulfonic Acid (A576785). Amidosulfonic acid is mainly a precursor to sweet-tasting compounds. It has been used in the design of many types of therapeutic agents such as antibiotics, nucleoside/nucleotide human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase inhibitors, HIV protease inhibitors (PIs), anti-cancer drugs (steroid sulfatase and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors), anti-epileptic drugs, and weight loss drugs.
