Bismuth Sulfide
Research is being done on Bismuth Sulfide as a possible malaria therapy.
Catalog Number: ASC-1025
CAS Number: 1345-07-9
MW: 514.16 g/mol
MF: Bi2H6S3
Hydrogen sulfide gas can be used to precipitate bismuth sulfide from bismuth solutions. Research is being done on this chemical as a possible malaria therapy. The malaria parasite can be effectively killed by bismuth sulfide, while the precise mode of action is still being investigated.
It is noteworthy that current research aims to enhance the potential of bismuth sulfide as a therapeutic agent, despite potential constraints related to its absorption and distribution within the body (pharmacokinetics).
Hydrogen bonds are present in the structure of bismuth sulfide, which may help explain its stability. It also shows resistance to electrochemical oxidation, or breakdown by electrical currents. Crystals of bismuth sulfide are usually hexagonal in form.
