Biological Activity
Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (ZS-9) is an inorganic cation exchange crystalline compound that has a high capacity to selectively entrap monovalent cations, specifically excess K+ and ammonium ions. Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate has the exchange capacities for the divalent ions Ca2+ and Mg2+ are below 0.05 mEq/g, and a >25-fold selectivity for K+ over either Ca2+ or Mg2+[1]. Dissolution Precautions: Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate can be prepared as a 1 mg/mL suspension in water as a stock solution, aliquoted, and stored at -80°C. This product is essentially an insoluble inorganic crystal that exists as a solid in the gastrointestinal tract, adsorbing potassium ions (K+) through an ion exchange mechanism rather than through dissolution.
