Product Information

• Name: Methylsulfuric acid potassium
• Synonyms: Methyl potassium sulfatePotassium methyl sulfate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methylsulfuric acid potassium salt is a chloride salt of methylsulfuric acid. It is used as a contrast agent in optical imaging and diagnosis, as well as in the treatment of radiation-induced fatty liver disease. In addition, it can be used to diagnose ventricular myocardium diseases and reversibly inhibit GABA-mediated inhibition of postsynaptic potentials. Methylsulfuric acid potassium salt binds to fatty acids in the myocardium and prevents their uptake, leading to an accumulation of fatty acids and subsequent cell damage. This drug has been shown to have an excitatory effect on neurons in the geniculate nucleus, which may result from its ability to inhibit gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis.
