UNSPSC Description

Bismuth subnitrate (Bismuth(III) oxynitrate) is a simple and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of methyl ketone by martensitic acetylene hydration reaction. When Bismuth subnitrate is intraperitoneally injected into mice, the distribution characteristics of bismuth (Bi) in the brain are similar to those of other exogenous metals such as mercury, silver and gold. Bismuth subnitrate has antibacterial activity, which can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Bismuth subnitrate is effective orally and can be used for the study of gastrointestinal diseases, which has protective effect on alcoholic gastric ulcer in rats[1][2][3][4].
