Description

Methyl paraben sodium is a preservative that inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. It is used in pharmaceuticals and personal care products such as shampoos, lotions, and other cosmetics. Methylparaben sodium is also used in wastewater treatment to control microbial growth. The methylparaben sodium molecule has been shown to bind to the ryanodine receptor in vitro assays and inhibit the release of calcium ions from intracellular stores. This inhibition may lead to cell death by apoptosis or necrosis. In toxicity studies with rats, methylparaben sodium was found to have no effect on body weight gain or food consumption at doses up to 2000 mg/kg/day for 28 days. At higher doses (5000 mg/kg/day), there was a significant decrease in body weight gain and food consumption. There were no effects on hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis or organ weights at any dose level studied. In
