• Description: Hydroxocobalamin acetate is a water-soluble form of hydroxocobalamin, a vitamin B12 prodrug. It is an insoluble polymer that dissolves slowly in an acidic environment. Hydroxocobalamin acetate has been shown to inhibit the growth of human carcinoma cells in culture and can be used as a test compound for anticancer drugs. Hydroxocobalamin acetate is also used as a mouth rinse agent to prevent or treat dental cavities. In addition, it can be used to relieve the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by reducing the acidity of gastric contents. This drug has been shown to stimulate vasoactive intestinal polypeptide release from enterochromaffin cells and can be used for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Hydroxocobalamin acetate is poorly soluble in neutral pH environments and should not be given orally.
