BISMUTH NITRATE (PENTAHYDRATE), BISMUTH NITRATE
Bismuth nitrate pentahydrate is a salt composed of bismuth in its cationic +3 oxidation state and nitrate anions. The most common solid form is the pentahydrate. It is used in the synthesis of other bismuth compounds. It is available commercially.
Bismuth nitrate is a salt. It contains the heavy metal bismuth. People use bismuth nitrate for preventing kidney damage caused by cancer drugs, for preventing bone marrow damage.
Bismuth nitrate is a salt. It contains the heavy metal bismuth. People use bismuth nitrate for preventing kidney damage caused by cancer drugs, for preventing bone marrow damage caused by radiation, and for a digestive tract infection that can lead to ulcers (Helicobacter pylori or H.
Hygroscopic. Moisture sensitive. Incompatible with strong acids, strong reducing agents, strong oxidizing agents, powdered metals and organic materials.
Bismuth nitrate pentahydrate is an oxidant for a variety of 4-substituted Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines. It also serves as a reagent for selective oxidation of sufides to sulfoxides. Further, it is involved in the preparation of Dragendorff reagent and used as a TLC stain. It is also used to prepare other bismuth compounds.
700 mg of bismuth subnitrate three times daily for 4 weeks has been used. Also, 300 mg of bismuth subnitrate four times daily, 20 mg of omeprazole twice daily, and 500 mg of amoxicillin four times daily for 2 weeks have been used.
