Product Information

• Name: Sodium thiosulfate, anhydrous
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sodium thiosulfate is a salt that is used as an antimicrobial agent. It has been shown to inhibit the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TLR2, which are important in the innate immune response. It has also been shown to suppress inflammation and tumor formation in vitro and in vivo. Sodium thiosulfate has been shown to inhibit the growth of squamous carcinoma cells by inducing apoptosis. The anti-cancer effect of sodium thiosulfate is due to its ability to reduce oxidative stress and increase antioxidant activity in cancer cells. It also inhibits potassium dichromate induced cancer cell proliferation by reducing redox potential. This salt may be useful for treating malignant brain tumors, where it has been shown to inhibit glioma cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and reduce metastasis via reduction of angiogenesis.
