Description

Sodium Stibogluconate is a pentavalent antimonial compound with the CAS number 16037-91-5. It serves as a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for the treatment of leishmaniasis, a serious parasitic disease. This high-purity compound is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions developing antiparasitic therapeutics. Its reliable quality and consistent performance are vital for ensuring effective and safe treatment formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in injectable formulations for the treatment of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis.
• Research & Development: Used in biochemical and pharmacological studies to investigate antiparasitic mechanisms of action and drug resistance.
• Veterinary Medicine: Potential application in the treatment of leishmaniasis in animals, particularly dogs.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and analytical method validation in pharmaceutical labs.
• Drug Discovery: A key compound for synthesizing novel antimonial derivatives and evaluating new therapeutic candidates.
