General description

Sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate is a thiol compound commonly used as an auxiliary drug, to reduce the side effects of anti-cancer drugs, such as oxazaphosphorine, cyclophosphamide, and ifosfamide. It acts by forming a non-toxic compound upon reacting with the toxic metabolites of the drugs like acrolein.

Application

The analytical standard can also be used as follows:
  • Quantification of sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (MESNA) from human samples by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) coupled with UV detection and in-capillary derivatization of MESNA
  • Development of a fluorescence-enhanced histidine stabilized gold nanoclusters (His-Au NCs) based probe for the detection of sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate in uromitexan samples
  • High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric based bioanalysis of sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate in rat plasma samples
  • To quantify sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate in two of its pharmaceutical preparations (injections) by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) using gold colloid as a probe
