Product Information
Name:Sodium dl-lactate
Synonyms:
- DL-Lactic acid sodium salt
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Sodium dl-lactate is a sodium salt of lactic acid. It is used as an antimicrobial agent, and has been shown to have significant cytotoxicity against tumor cells. Sodium dl-lactate is also used in clinical practice for the treatment of metabolic acidosis, and to increase the blood lactate concentration during labor. In addition, this compound has been found to have important physiological effects on energy metabolism and cell volume regulation. The disulfide bond between two molecules of dl-lactate can be cleaved by thiol oxidoreductases or reduced by glutathione reductase to form 2 molecules of pyruvic acid and 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide. This reaction provides a means for lactate oxidation that may be important in wastewater treatment and in the production of biogas from organic wastes.
