General description

Docusate sodium salt is an anionic surfactant.

Application

Docusate sodium salt has been used in a study to assess chromatography approaches for early screening of the phospholipidosis-inducing potential of pharmaceuticals. It has also been used in a study to investigate different formulations for drug delivery through the nail plate.
Forms reverse micelles in hydrocarbon solvents; Suitable for the solubilization of the major myelin transmembrane proteolipid
