Industrial Grade Lithium Carbonate For Pharmaceutical Use
Industrial grade lithium carbonate is a colorless and transparent crystal with the chemical formula Li2CO3 and a molecular weight of 73.89. It can exist stably in air with a density of 2.11 g/cm3 and has good thermal and chemical stability. Industrial grade lithium carbonate is an important lithium compound mainly used in the production of lithium batteries, glass, ceramics, metallurgy and other fields.
Lithium carbonate, as a metal with strong stability and high hardness, has shown potential value in the field of medicine. The following details its importance in medicine:
1. Improve cell survival rate and reduce toxicity
Biological studies have shown that certain natural compounds, such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide, increase cellular activity while reducing toxicity. Lithium carbonate, as a natural stabilizer, may also play a similar role.
Lithium carbonate can be absorbed by the human body and maintain the stability of intracellular biological factors. It can prevent excess metabolites from being released into body fluids to maintain specific pH, concentration, and other characteristics.
2. Improve the fluid environment
The toxicity of drugs may lead to extracellular fluid acid-base imbalance or infection. Lithium carbonate can be absorbed by gastric juice to increase pH, reduce acidity, or increase alkalinity.
In some cases, the use of lithium carbonate may help regulate electrolyte balance in the body, reduce drug dosage, and improve its efficacy.
