| Application: | Sodium salicylate may be used as phenolic reagent in salicylate method for the determination of ammonia. It may be employed as a hydrotropic agent to study the release of anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT) from the mixed micelles [composed of Pluronic P105 (P105) and D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS)]. |
| General description: | Sodium salicylate can be prepared from the reaction of salicylic acid and ammonia. It exhibits fluorescence at higher concentrations and effectively absorbs β-particles. Due to these properties, it has been employed as fluor for the radioactivity detection in various gels. |
