Bismuth

Bismuth Subsalicylate (Bismuth subsalicylat) is the active ingredient in the popular medication Pepto-Bismol that is used to treat nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea, and other temporary discomforts of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.

Triphenyl bismuth (NSC-465) is an additive for making biomedical resins visible on x-ray images and can be used as a radiopaque agent for orthopaedic bone cements.

Bismuth subgallate (Dermatol Puder) is an astringent and antiseptic and is applied to skin diseases such as eczema.

Bismuth(III) oxide is a common starting point for bismuth chemistry. It is usually obtained as a by-product of the smelting of copper and lead ores. Bismuth trioxide is commonly used as a replacement of red lead to produce the Dragon's eggs effect in fi

Bismuth camphocarbonate is used for herpes zoster.

Bismuth subcarbonate, also known as bismuth carbonate oxide, is a versatile semiconductor compound based on bismuth, commonly utilized for its antibacterial properties, as well as in various applications such as sensors, super capacitors, and photocatalysts. Additionally, bismuth subcarbonate serves as a protective agent against gastric acid erosion, particularly in the treatment of gastric ulcers[1][2].

Bismuth Subcitrate Potassium is an antibiotic that acts against 12 species of Helicobacter pylori, inhibits the histamine H2 receptor, and can be used to study diarrhea and peptic ulcer disease in vulnerable patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Ranitidine bismuth citrate, an orally administered Histamine H2-receptor antagonist, demonstrates a potent inhibitory concentration (IC 50) of 3.3 μM and exhibits high selectivity towards SARS-CoV-2-infected cells. It is widely utilized as an anti-Helicobacter pylori agent, exhibiting a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC 90) value of 16 ng L.

Ammonium bismuth citrate is an essential component in selective and stable culture media used for isolating Salmonella typhi and related organisms. It exhibits inhibitory effects against many harmful organisms. Additionally, ammonium bismouth citrate is utilized in bismuth sulfite glucose glycine yeast (BiGGY) agar.

Bismuth Sulfite Agar Medium is utilized for the selective isolation and cultivation of Salmonella. The composition of Bismuth Sulfite Agar Medium includes tryptone, peptone, beef extract, ferrous sulfate, bismuth sulfite, disodium phosphate, dextrose, brilliant green, and agar.

Bismuth Sulfite Agar is a selective solid medium designed for the isolation, quantification, and cultivation of Salmonella.

Sodium bismuthate dihydrate (Bismuth sodium oxide dihydrate) is a sensitive chromogenic reagent used for determining monoamines.

Gastrodenol (Bismuth tripotassium dicitrate) is a bismuth compound used for peptic ulcer and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

WF 2421 is an aldose reductase inhibitor produced by Humicola grisea.

Sodium bismuthate (NaBiO3) serves as a sensitive colorimetric reagent for determining monoamines.

Trehalose C12 (α-D-Glucopyranosyl-α-D-glucopyranoside monododecanoate) is a non-reducing disaccharide utilized for its amphiphilic properties as an emulsifier, surfactant, encapsulating material, and in biochemical research on cellular processes and membrane interactions.

Dragendorff reagent can detect alkaloids and other nitrogen-containing compounds. It is a bismuth potassium iodide solution composed of basic bismuth nitrate (Bi(NO3)3), tartaric acid (HY-N2436), and potassium iodide (KI). When Dragendorff reagent comes into contact with alkaloids, it forms an orange or orangish-red precipitate.
