Product Information
- Sodium malonite monohydrate
Malonic acid disodium salt monohydrate is a water-soluble alkanoic acid that is used as a cross-linking agent in the manufacture of polymers. Malonic acid disodium salt monohydrate is also used to produce immunogenic antigens for cancer research and as a synthetic intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or agricultural chemicals. Malonic acid disodium salt monohydrate is converted to malic acid by the enzyme cytosolic malate dehydrogenase. Malonic acid disodium salt monohydrate has an acidic pH and can be used to neutralize sodium salts such as sodium bicarbonate. Cell culture studies have shown that exposure to malonic acid disodium salt monohydrate inhibits protein synthesis and cell growth, which may be due to its ability to bind with DNA during transcription.
