Drug Information

SODIUM OCTANOATE (2.4 MMOL) MODIFIED THE INTRACELLULAR ACTION POTENTIAL IN ISOLATED RABBIT ATRIUM & PAPILLARY MUSCLE. THE RATE OF DEPOLARIZATION & TIME OF REPOLARIZATION WERE MARKEDLY DECREASED, BUT NO CHANGE OCCURRED IN THE RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL. THE AMPLITUDE OF THE ACTION & REVERSE POTENTIAL SHOWED MODERATE DECREASES.|SODIUM PROPIONATE, SODIUM BUTYRATE, SODIUM PENTANOATE, SODIUM HEXANOATE, & SODIUM OCTANOATE AT LOW CONCN (0.1-1.0 MMOL) STIMULATED SODIUM TRANSPORT BY THE TOAD BLADDER, BUT HIGH CONCN (5-20 MMOL) REVERSIBLY INHIBITED TRANSPORT.|SODIUM OCTANOATE AT 3.69X10-7 MOL DECREASED THE INCORPORATION OF L-LEUCINE INTO NORMAL RAT LIVER SLICES & HEPATOMA CELLS BY APPROXIMATELY 75%.

Drug Function and Efficacy

The drug therapy classification of this product is plasma substitute and plasma protein component, ATC classification code: B05AA01. The amount of human albumin in plasma exceeds half of the total plasma protein and accounts for 10% of liver protein synthesis. Physicochemical data: 5% human albumin has a slight low colloid pressure effect on normal plasma. 20% human albumin has a relatively high colloid pressure effect. The most important physiological function of albumin is to maintain blood colloid osmotic pressure and its transport function. Albumin can maintain a stable circulating blood volume and serve as a carrier of hormones, enzymes, drugs and toxins. Toxicological effects: Human albumin is a normal component of human plasma and its role is the same as physiological albumin. In animal experiments, single-dose toxicity tests are meaningless and insufficient to evaluate toxicity, lethal doses, or dose-effect relationships. Repeated dose toxicity tests are not feasible because animal models produce antibodies to heterologous proteins. So far, human albumin has not been reported to be associated with embryotoxicity, carcinogenicity and potential mutagenicity. No acute toxicity was found in animal models.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
