Description

Sodium 3-sulfobenzoate is a structural analog of the amino acid glutamate. It is used as an ophthalmic drug that is administered intravitreally. The elimination half-life of this drug in humans has been shown to be around 15 hours, and it can be eliminated through the urine or feces. Sodium 3-sulfobenzoate has been shown to inhibit chloride ion transport across cell membranes, which may be responsible for its effects on retinal cells. This drug has also been shown to have biodegradable properties because it is made from a monosodium salt with a basic structure.
