Bismuth salicylate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Bismuth(III) subsalicylate, this is an inorganic compound which finds use as an antacid. The reagent is available as a powder. The colloidal bismuth subsalicylate is obtained from the hydrolysis of bismuth salicylate. While this reagent is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 14882-18-9 Quantity Provided: 100 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C7H5BiO4 Molecular weight: 362.09 Assay: Minimum 99 % Bismuth salicylate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds wide applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. It is prescribed as an antacid to treat temporary stomach discomfort and gastrointestinal tract issues including diarrhea, indigestion, heartburn and nausea. Its mechanism of action has been speculated, however data shows that in the gut, bismuth subsalicylate hydrolyses to bismuth oxychloride and salicylic acid. This compound also finds use in growth media for selective isolation of microorganisms where it inhibits Helicobacter pylori, other enteric bacteria, and some fungi. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
