Question

What is the chemical formula for hydroxyurea?

Short answer

The chemical formula tor hydroxyurea is ${\mathrm{CH}}_4{\mathrm{N}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_2$

Step-by-step solution

Introduction 

• Sickle cell anaemia is a disorder in which a mutation in the DNA changes the amino acid in the protein, affecting the protein's structure.
• As a result, hemoglobin's structure changes from round to sickle cell, destroying its ability to carry oxygen.
• Patients with sickle cell anaemia who take hydroxyurea on a daily basis report less pain, fewer events where blood vessels are obstructed by sickle red blood cells, and increased blood flow.
