Description:
Silver nitrite is a silver compound that has been used for centuries to prevent or treat infection. The mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is believed that the silver ion reacts with the nitrite ion to form a reactive site in the bacterial cell wall. This inhibits cell division and bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis. Silver nitrite may also cause destruction of the cell membrane due to its interaction with fatty acids on the surface of bacteria and its high reactivity with halides, such as chloride ions.
Silver nitrite can be synthesized by reacting silver nitrate with sodium citrate or ammonium acetate. The reaction solution is then analyzed using gravimetric analysis or plasma mass spectrometry.
