Sodium Gluconate

Sodium Gluconate (CAS No.: 527-07-1) is the sodium salt of gluconic acid and is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In biomedical research, Sodium Gluconate, due to its strong chelating ability, can form stable chelates with calcium ions and other divalent and trivalent metal ions, thereby affecting the activity and distribution of metal ions in biological systems. In addition, Sodium Gluconate is used as a tracer or labeling agent in metabolism and biochemical research; in particular, its 13C-labeled isotopic form can be used to track the metabolic pathways of sodium gluconate in biological systems, enabling deeper understanding of its uptake, distribution, and excretion. In cell and animal models, Sodium Gluconate is commonly used to study its effects on metal ion homeostasis and to evaluate its potential as a chelating agent during drug screening. The dose or concentration used in experiments typically depends on the experimental design and research objectives.
