Docusate (Sodium)
Docusate Sodium (Dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt) is one of the main components in stool softeners. Docusate Sodium is a sulfated surfactant and may inactivate viral pathogens by disrupting viral envelopes and/or denaturing/disassociating proteins. Docusate Sodium is effective in vitro against wild type and drug-resistant strains of HSV type 1 and 2. Docusate Sodium is an obesogen. Docusate Sodium with developmental exposure leads to increased adult adiposity, inflammation, metabolic disorder and dyslipidemia in offspring fed a standard diet in mice[1][2].
