Docusate Sodium  (Synonyms: Dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt)

Cat. No.: HY-B1268 Purity: ≥98.0%
COA Handling Instructions

Docusate Sodium (Dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt) is one of the main components in stool softeners. Docusate Sodium is a sulfated surfactant and may inactivate viral pathogens by disrupting viral envelopes and/or denaturing/disassociating proteins. Docusate Sodium is effective in vitro against wild type and drug-resistant strains of HSV type 1 and 2. Docusate Sodium is an obesogen. Docusate Sodium with developmental exposure leads to increased adult adiposity, inflammation, metabolic disorder and dyslipidemia in offspring fed a standard diet in mice.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

In Vivo

Docusate Sodium (Dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt; 31.25 μg/mL; dissolved in water) in dams increases body mass, fat mass, fat percentage and reduces bone area in adult F1 male offspring[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Pregnant dams[2]
Dosage: 31.25 μg/mL
Administration: Dissolved in water
Result: F1 male offspring from DOSS-treated dams were significantly heavier than control male counterparts at 12 weeks and 16 weeks.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
