Maleamic acid is an organic compound with the formula HO

. It is the amide formed by reaction of maleic anhydride with ammonia. It is a colorless solid.[1] Maleamic acid is the product of the action of the enzyme maleimide hydrolase.

A variety of maleamic acids are known. Commonly they are prepared by the reaction of an amine with maleic anhydride.[2]

Aside from maleic anhydride, other common cyclic anhydrides (and imides) undergo ring-opening to give amido carboxylic acids. Succinic anhydride gives succinamic acid (HO
