Properties: Crystals, mp 234-238°. uv max (water): 243, 257 nm (E1%1cm 875, 822); (0.1M HCl): 243, 307 nm (E1%1cm 625, 200); (ethanol): 271 nm (E1%1cm 835). Slowly darkens on exposure to light. Soly in water at 37°: 35 mg/100 ml at pH 5.5; 170 mg/100 ml at pH 7.5. Readily sol in dil mineral acids and in solns of potassium, ammonium and sodium hydroxides. Sparingly sol in acetone, slightly sol in alcohol, very slightly sol in ether, chloroform.
Melting point: mp 234-238°
Absorption maximum: uv max (water): 243, 257 nm (E1%1cm 875, 822); (0.1M HCl): 243, 307 nm (E1%1cm 625, 200); (ethanol): 271 nm (E1%1cm 835)
 
Derivative Type: Monosodium salt
CAS Registry Number: 127-58-2
Synonyms: Soluble sulfamerazine
Trademarks: Solumédine (Specia)
Molecular Formula: C11H11N4NaO2S
Molecular Weight: 286.29
Percent Composition: C 46.15%, H 3.87%, N 19.57%, Na 8.03%, O 11.18%, S 11.20%
Properties: Crystals. Bitter, caustic taste. Hygroscopic. On prolonged exposure to humid air, it absorbs CO2 with the liberation of sulfamerazine and becomes incompletely sol in water. Its solns are alkaline to phenolphthalein (pH 10 or more). One gram dissolves in 3.6 ml water. Slightly sol in alc. Insol in ether, chloroform.
