Sodium glycerophosphate

Sodium Glycerophosphate is the sodium salt form of an organic phosphate compound that provides phosphate for nutritional purposes. Additionally, sodium glycerophosphate can be used as a phosphate diluting agent upon internal contamination with the beta-emiting radioisotope phosphate P 32 (P-32) that competes with P-32 for absorption. As sodium glycerophosphate is administered in high amounts, the absorption of P-32 is prevented or minimalized. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Electrolytes. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include alpha-Glycerophosphoric Acid Disodium Salt and Disodium alpha-glycerophosphate. Its PubChem CID is 14754.
